This is a really well made radio! It plays but will likely need new capacitors to sound its best.

  • do you know any where i can buy can transisters

  • Yes, Mouser electronics is a good place.

  • Nice radio. Are you going to participate in Field Day? I think, I'm going to be an independent station this year.

  • You know I never actually have had an amateur licence although I did talk on broadcast radio.

  • That radio is like a time machine, it looks mint. Its amazing, I have a new radio with fm/am tuner thats digital and I can only pick up one station, I like to listen to a clear channel 50k watt am station about 150 miles from me but this new radio won't pick it up :-(

  • Oh that's too bad you can't pick it up...what kind of radio is the new one you got?

  • Beautifully designed classic radio, very cool, thanks for sharing.

  • Hey there, I feel guilty posting this here but i just bought a working 2000 for $4. Its in fairly decent condition, grill cloth perfect some scratches on the top. Any hint to a realistic value. Thanks for your time.

    These really do sound great by the way.

  • Huh! My 2000 is the same early model, but mine doesn't have the switch for radio-tuner-phono like yours does. Mine only has the tuner jack. Must be a different chassis. I wonder which chassis absolutely came first?

  • I'm pretty sure the AM antenna is inside the handle for this model. Thanks for the information about that dot near 100mhz on FM. I've noticed this on several Zenith models and always wondered what it was for. Nice radio though. I have a couple of Trans-Oceanic portables that I use quite often and they are great performers.

  • Love Zenith radios !! Very nice styling.

  • you are correct, mouser is freaking awesome for radio stuff,

  • love that beefy speaker, it almost looks like an upside-down tube-type set, i had one similar long ago.

  • Hook an ipod up to the phono input on an old system and it would become a sweet mp3 player system. Especially if you put old music on the ipod.

  • Fantastic stuff.
