Sounds great. I like the way you left the original parts in place to make an original restoration easier. The "enhanced stereo" feature seems similar to the "stereo wide" and "ambient stereo" switches on early '80s boomboxes. It would be nice to have the control in place, but a clear neural setting with the intended separation. It looks as if this predates FM stereo, but I assume Frank is coming off a record.

Good job Jeff, glad to see someone restoring the old sound! I'll bet AC DC would sound great on that bad boy!

Jeff,
Awesome job on the Zenith mod. I'll bet it sounds great! Nothing like the warm, smooth sound of tubes!!

Thanks for the FYI vid, very facinating indeed.
I've been interested in finding a nice OLD Zenith console someday. This makes me want one even more now.

Good project! Clean sound is much better than a processed sound!

Jeff, What a nostalgia trip! Makes me want to ditch my Bose Sound system and have you renovate an old Zenith for me. 5+ stars!

No Highs, No lows, It must be BOSE.

This sounds like "enhanced mono" rather than enhanced stereo. Would like to see and hear how this sounds after the new tubes, etc.

What a cool project. My grandparents had a stero just like that.
Great Job Jeff!!
