My K731 came...

...and it looks surprisingly good.

The front is pretty clean although there is an area on the right where the finish has chipped. The fabric has pulled away on the top right, Not sure how to fix that. There is a dot near the 100Mhz point, does this help date the radio?



The AM antenna is glued to the rear panel. You can see the electrical tape holding the wire connection close to the antenna windings. This must not be "as shipped" and I can only guess this is a "fix" of some kind. The connection seems to be a proximity pick-up of some kind and not directly connected to the wires. Is this right? I may try to hot glue the pick up to the coil unless someone has a better way to do this.



The internals look OK, dirty and dusty though, but I can clean that up.



The rear panel show the Zenith "Long Distance" logo.



Which tubes are for the AM band and which are for the FM band?



The AM band works fine but the FM is dead. Should I replace all the FM tubes or is there a way to figure out which tube is bad without a tester?

As you can tell I don't know radio electronics, so I sure appreciate all the help and tips you guys can give me to get this radio running again.

Thanks - Brad
