Last weekend I picked up this neat Zenith tombstone.
The cabinet is a 6-B-129. The chassis is AC powered and is either a 6-S-128 or 6-S-137. Zenith chassis 6-S-147, 6-S-152, and 6-S-157 are identical.
Only the 6-S-128 and 6-S-137 use 8 inch speakers, the others use 10 inch speakers.
The 6-S-128 and 6-S-137 were originally in (different) tombstone cabinets. The 6-S-147 is a chairside. And the 6-S-152 and 6-S-157 are consoles.
I am therefore going to call this chassis a 6-S-128 since its rubber-stamped model number is not visible.
So let's get going on its rebuild.

I think where the shaft comes out of the brass piece, there should be a clip.morzh — 06:47 PM |
