Zenith 8s359
#3

Have done a few of these zeniths.
All prone to bad wiring on the eye tube as well as the tone control.
Just replace one at a time and its not a big deal.
Tone control has to be carefully pried apart to replace the pushbuttons.
After you do it, it will never have to be done again in your lifetime.
Great radios, have many of the mid to late 30's as well as a couple early 40's consoles and chairsides.
Have fun with it, I wish I had a couple more to work on.
I have sold quite a few of these and they always go fast.
Everyone loves the beautiful cabinets and the black dials.
