Zenith ID needed
#2

John, The pictures you provided look like a 1942 model 10S669. The original finish had a fake burlwood on the front and I had to remove it.If this is the same model your burl wood finish is already gone. I had the cabinet refinished after removing the burwoodl and while not original it looks very good. The biggest problem was replacing rotten wiring. This was very prevelent in the many swithes for the station and tone selectors. Just go slow and replace one wire at a time if yours are shedding the insulation.I also had to replace the tunning drive belt. Mine also had a bad power transformer. (sight unseen from E-Bay) Naturally, you will want to replace the electrolytic and paper capicators. I can only remember one paper capacitor that was difficult to get to. I have been very happy with this radio as it seems to be very sensitive on both broadcast and short wave bands and sounds great. Best of luck and hope you enjoy it.
