Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share some pics of my latest find and birthday present to myself. I found this Zenith 9S262 at a garage sale for $80 bucks! Just got it home and haven't had a chance to really look her over yet. The cabinet is in excellent shape overall, the finish is iffy though. The chassis looks to be unmolested. The old owner said it was her parents radio and she remembers listening to shortwave on it as a kid. She also said it was still working up until 2 years ago. I am planning on doing a complete restoration on it, but will have to wait until I finish her bigger cousin, a 12S568. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Kevin
