New to Phorum - picked up Zenith S652 and RCA811K
#7

Welcome to the Phorum ! That Zenith looks like it will be a nice set if it is not missing some critical parts. I don't see any shafts coming through the two lower holes on the right and left. Some controls might be missing, not just the knobs. One of the shafts I don't see is the band switch, a pretty critical part made from unobtainium these days. I hope this is just an optical illusion because the chassis is not pushed up properly in the cabinet. As for the knobs, if you aren't a fanatic purist, you can get good looking reproductions made of plastic that look just like the wood ones from a little distance here...  http://renovatedradios.com/index.php   I hope all the critical parts are there. It is a great radio and deserves to be restored. Good luck to you.
