[NJARC] zenith and other things

Tue May 29 15:34:16 EDT 2012

Al....thanks...some of the caps do have uf values....it is a model 35AP with 
an E series chassis 1929. I did crank it up with the 301 tube that I got on 
saturday and what a thrill to hear it play again...this model came with a 
dynamic speaker and automatic pushbutton tuning. Not Superhet but AFR. With 
a good antenna lead works loud and clear. I know that I should change out 
the caps but as with my 1928 radiola The caps seem to be much more durable 
than the 30s or 40s radios.
