It's been quite awhile since I've had time to work on this but I was finally able to get somework done last weekend. For the most part, the wiring is complete except for around the volume control. The Zenith schematics have a parts list but sometimes there are more than one for each designation. For example, C10 is a 0.02fd capacitor. It is only listed once but there are actually 2 C10's in the schematic so I came up short on a few capacitors. I placed an order for more and should get them next week.

I refurbed the motor that drives the motorized tuning. Here is a picture before I cleaned it up:

Here are all the parts after being cleaned up and all the metal pieces polished:

And here is the motor re-assembled:

I placed several drops of oil on the felt washers. One of them was pretty hard and did not soak up as much oil as the other. The oil I used was from a Lionel train maintenance kit I have. It is a light machine oil.

The shutter assembly is back on the chassis but I do not have a picture of that. I'm hoping to wrap up the chassis by the end of the month so stay tuned!
