Zenith Transoceanic 7000 Question
 

Anyone know where these radios were built? Thanks Eric

Which 7000?

The Royal 7000 and the D7000 were manufactured in the USA (Chicago).

The early versions of the R-7000 were also manufactured in the USA (Chicago). Later versions (some -1's and all -2's) were manufactured in Taiwan.

See http://bellsouthpwp.net/p/a/padgett46/transto.htm for more details

Zenith royal 7000 series (non taiwan made) were built in chicago at plant 2, 1900 N. Ashland Ave Chicago, IL.

Origins of the TA 7000
 

I was very disappointed with the Taiwan built TA. It had quality control issues from the start. Had it fixed once back in the early 80's. It was a disappointment :worried: I always wanted a TA and never had one in the 60's. The 7000 did not meet my expectations. The old 3000's are much better. My opinion. Even the TA 1000 I sold off wasn't bad, though my 3000's out perform it. The 7000 I gave away.

Which of the 7000's were the best? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks guys

Eric
