Zenith 12-S-265 (chassis 1204)
#3

Very nice, John. At what probably was the last radio swap meet in the country before the stay at home's began (the WARCI meet March 15), I had a friend from the ARCI club bring me a 1938 Zenith 12 S chassis and matching speaker from a chairside set. I installed them in my 7S258 cabinet, replacing the 7S chassis and speaker. A perfect fit with no modifications (other than the tuning / motorized tuning knobs and bandswitch lever needing to be changed). It's the best of both worlds, a nice small console cabinet and 12 tube sound. So I just worked on one of these chassis myself. The nice thing about these is, except for the eye tube socket there is no crumbling wire and the chassis is nice and open (albeit a bit deep). I too have a 6T5 tube that has about 75% brightness left. I put a 6E5 in the set instead, like you saving the ultra rare 6T5.
