Zenith AM/FM G730
Today I bought a Zenith AM/FM G730 at an estate sale. It looked to be in pretty good shape. A little dirty and the end of the cord was missing. No way to check it out but,.. what to heck only $15. Got it home and cleaned it up and to my surprise it looks excellent. On the 10 scale it would be a 9. Really nice! With it looking so good I just had to know if it worked. Replaced the cord end and again to my surprise it worked!! I`m listening to it now. Sounds good. I mean really good. Not as good as my Pioneer[Vintage 70`s] set up but very good for a radio of this age. The dial does not light up. Does anyone know if it should? Would it be hard to replace?
I have been buying/selling/collecting Vintage 70`s HiFi for a number of years now. I have a feeling this radio may be the start of something new. After all, I grew up on AM radio.
