[Boatanchors] Zenith Transoceanic

[Tom NØJMY]

If you Google something like "Repair Zenith Tran-Oceanic" you'll get a 
lot of hits with resoration info.  I did a H500 a couple years ago and 
found a great deal of help on the net.

Unfortunately I can't find my favorite site, but here's some good ones 
to start with:

http://www.electronixandmore.com/adam/transo.html
http://www.transoceanic.nostalgiaair.org/

And of course, there's a Yahoo Transoceanic group, too:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thetransoceanicfanatic/

And pay heed to what Carl says about plugging in the set with the switch on!
