1942 Zenith 10S690 Radio/Phono Combo

At that time Zenith used both belt and dial strings (sometimes even in the same chassis)...
I used to have a set with the same dial (possibly the same chassis) that I sold a good 7 years ago and hardly remember anymore.

If it uses a belt you may be able to use a large O ring to replace it...I forget where I got the ones I used on the last Zenith sets I did. I haven't restored a pre-war Zenith chassis in probably over 5 years. Another possibility would be thin walked flexible tubing of the right diameter...cut a sliver off the end and you would have a belt...

OK thanks! I'll take a look into that!
