[Boatanchors] zenith trans oceanic

[Walt Cates]

A friend has asked me to look at his old radio. It has not been turned on for over 40 years. For its age it is in remarkable shape. The chassis is clean and no signes that anyone has ever opened it up before me.

It is a Zenith Trans Oceanic. The closest match to the case, antennas and chassis I can find is the H500. However the H500 has a selenium rectifier and this radio has a diode. The diode is leadless and snaps into a holder similar to a fuse holder.

I thought, before I did anything to it I would check and see if I could get more information on it. It may have some value to a skilled restorer. Perhaps give the owner some options.
