1951 Zenith Porthole Question

[Ampico-kid]

Hi Mark;

The switch I found in this TV set was a SPST type switch used to turn the AC on/off to the TV. The switch in the set was bad and had been bypassed with a rear mounted toggle type. I was able to find a replacement switch and it has a DPST type switch.

My suspicion is that there's something missing or I'm just not seeing it. The wires coming from both the TV amp and the Tuner amp have factory installed male pins on them as if they were supposed to slip into a mating connector or socket somewhere??

If I recall correctly...the wires from the amps were just sort of dangling in the area where the original speaker had been, leading me to think it may have used a dual voice coil speaker?

Thanks for the information.
Bob
