1940 Zenith "Long Distance" Portable Diagnostics & Electrical - Vacuum Tube Radio 6D510 Part 1 [4K]

Описание: Portable Zenith from 1940. Let's go through it and see if we can get it to play and sound good again.

See the checklist which appears, when status changes, for tracking what is discovered that needs addressing in Red, followed by Green when resolved.

ERRATA:
The San Antonio AM1200 Station is WOAI, not WAOI.

NOTE: This is not instruction, it is for entertainment for people like me who enjoy watching projects and the experiences gained. If you attempt to do any of the things in this video you are at your own risk. I am using special tech-bench safety equipment not detailed here so don't take for granted you can just plug these old items in safely without them being checked and repaired correctly. Check out the link below to Mr Carlson's Lab video below.
