The recent video by Shang066 highlights how these truly great portables can be improved using non-tubes in form of MOSFETs? I'm already sold on that 3V4! Audio on these was always lacking to save battery power. A ceramic filter in a 1U4, just awesome!
A model A600 is featured in the video. I have an R600 chassis 6R40, which is a few years prior to the A. Trouble is, I have a great Zenith schematic and parts list for the A600 chassis 6A41 Are the mid 1950s models similar enough that I could use this for my R600? BTW - I had borrowed this same model from my friends Dad when I was 12. I got a 50A1 and 1L6 (ordered via RS) and of course it came in the mail and, after I got off the school bus, raced home to try them and they worked! I though it was soooo cool back then that I could now "intercept" Radio Moscow and listen to propaganda. I gave it back when asked, by then I had a G500 and SWL was not as interesting anymore

I forget the name of the movie, but it was about '51, where some crooks were making a getaway in a car, about a '50 Plymouth. They had a Zenith TO in the front seat, listening to something or other. Anyhow they made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up on a A-bomb test site, and it was about to go off. They swung a U and were haulin ass, and the nuke went off. The car, the crooks, and the poor TO went flipping downrange end over end in the blast wave. That's where the movie ended, IIRC. Anybody recall that movie?

Not a G500 but I picked up an H500 a couple months ago and I love it! Gave it a recap and it's at least as sensitive as my Tecsun pl880. I'm eyeing that soiled state 1L6 right now as I want to save the hollow state one for the zombie apocalypse
