Zenith Quality: you can drop it from a plane and it will STILL work (just won't be as pretty).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-teXC1mFKaQ

There was one of those sets at the last WARCI meet. I briefly thought about buying it, but decided to grab one of Zenith's few tube Stereo FM table sets (with matching speaker) instead. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Zen...kAAOSwNm5ZrVVz


There is one like yours for $32 as parts/repair. It looks like you could merge its cosmetics with the working guts of yours. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Zenith-...8AAOSwwadaID-4

I thought for sure you would be posting a thread about that Zenith tube radio, pros & cons. Slight thread derailment!
BTW, I have one of those Zenith Royal 2000's. Mine has a bad switch on the back of the volume control. Someone put a push-push switch on the side of it.
I have to see if I have one to replace it with.
Another thought, did RCA make those fat transistors especially for ZRC?
