Okay,

I must not be experiencing the same noise you are, Mike. As I mentioned, I have to help tune the Zenith up the scale with my finger pushing the upper pulley along due to the bad drive belt. Tuning down is OK. But there is no more noise in this Brand Z set than there is in any of my Philcos.

In fact, I have to say that this 9-S-262 does sound good. I just gave it a complete alignment. Everything (with the exception of the drive belts) is A-O-K. I can see why so many people like this model. But while it is impressive, it isn't enough to make me switch from Philco. Icon_wink

All that remains is for me to replace the dial belts (once they arrive) and to replace those AM leaves in the shutter dial mechanism. I may attempt that tomorrow.

I hope the belts get here soon, and that I have no problems with replacing the leaves - I'm anxious to get started on my Philco Tropic 42-788. Icon_smile
