    I've learned like many others the hard way that the little plastic clock knobs will fall apart upon contact one out of three times. I lube the clock mechanism before I turn them. The big mechanical gears are dirt and grease magnets, so a spray of Break Free or WD- 40 loosens them enough to help keep the plastic knobs from being over stressed.

    Thanks for this video. I just aquired the identical radio- chassis, but in maroon.Note the 6volt tube ( in a 12 volt filament string!) on the far right corner. Note some Chassis used a 12- volt tube at that position. Lots of variety in the chassis on this model. Aga in n, that's for your expose'!

    I’ve got the black version of this radio that I picked up at goodwill for $5 and it was working still when i got it but then I had to recap it later on, mine has all of the original Zenith Tubes in it.

    Could someone help me try to fix the alarm on mine? Someone else fixed it and made it so I can’t pull out the back clock adjustment mechanism to se the alarm
