Greetings Everyone, today I just picked up a 1950 Zenith Trans-Oceanic Model G-500 for $49 at a local antique mall/flea market and its in really nice shape yet, the only thing wrong with it that I can see of is that the dial string broke, but other than that it still has its original Zenith badged tubes in it yet and has the original rod antenna (the one you pull up on and it extends like 5 feet into the air) and it also has the old Long Distance antenna intact as well including its original suction cups for mounting it to a window (the only thing missing is the antenna connection wires for the Long Distance Antenna).

I haven't had a chance to test it yet to see how well it works (if it needs to have its filter caps replaced or not).

Its even got the Copper Chassis which is in excellent shape yet.

Any tips or tricks for a first time user/owner of one of these Old Zenith T/Os?

Thanks for your help.

I'll upload some pictures when I get some time later.
