Zenith Trans-Oceanic R600 Part 2: Dial Restring

[@dannyshortwave]

Good job Paul. I need to do that also on my R600. I had restrung my old Hallicrafters S-38B a few years ago with my fat fingers. It is a lesson in patience. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great day. 😊

Danny, Thank you for watching. Yes, fat fingers are a problem with this task. I have a Hallicrafters S-38A out in the garage waiting to be restored. However, I bought so much stuff lately, it's been moved to the back burner. 73 Paul AA1SU

Muchas gracias, amigo mío. Buena suerte con la restricción de la esfera de su Zenith. Paul

[@superhorchacha]

just did this myself - thanks for the video

[@vtradio]

Excellent! I'm glad that it helped.

I need help, my dad just left me this, and I want to listen to it.

[@vtradio]

See my reply to your other question.

I have a Zenith that needs to be restrung, this is way beyond me.

[@vtradio]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. It does look hard, doesn't it? I would have to watch it again before attempting it on another radio, which I plan to do. How's that Globe Scout coming along?

[@Capecodham]

@@vtradio It looks impossible for me. You are a genius. It would-be easier to fix the Globe Scout without a schematic than restring this.

[@vtradio]

@@Capecodham Thanks. I will admit that I was terrified to this, or the caps for many years. I left it up to a guy that I met at NEAR-Fest to do it for me. In the end, I replaced more capacitors than he did. I have since sold this R600 but kept my first one. 73 Paul AA1SU
