Model 12H092 with chassis 11C21 from 1946. What a monster to repair. They still had the rubber coated wiring that was used in prewar models. It was crap stuff but still used until it was gone from their supply. I bought the Zenith Service Shop Notes on CD from a guy called redstar22 on a popular selling site. Clear images than free ones online. It's good but you need to know the model of phonograph to see Zenith service notes of it. (S-11680?) Glad to see someone else has got that stuff covered. The coil in a Radionic cartridge can be tested on lowest Ohm setting on a meter. If it is good it should read 3 Ohms or about that. You could have dirty contacts if so wipe them down with alcohol or Tarn-X and try again. If you still get zip the coil is open. Seeing someone else show all this helps tremendously Paul . So thanks!

Yes, it is a fun one for sure! You are correct about the phonograph that was installed with it. It is the S-11680 model 78 player. I already rebuilt the motor and still working on recapping the main radio chassis. I love a challenge and this unit has been that! Thanks for the comment Steven! - Paul
