Info on Zenith TransOceanic R-7000

[Phil Nelson]

I own most models of TO and enjoy them all. If I had to keep only one, I guess it would be the 7G605. You can see them at:

You can download technical manuals from:

If you're curious what your R7000-2 looks like inside, check out my article at:

Note that the 1000 and 3000 models are fairly common, and you shouldn't have to bankrupt yourself to own one. I have owned two of each type and didn't spend more than $40 for any of them.

If you limit yourself to eBay, then of course you'll pay a premium. I bought one of my 3000-1s at a garage sale for $5.
