You don't do it with the expectation of making a profit, but rather because you want to see them running as they were.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-54948966097713200712013-05-02T20:39:47.657-07:002013-05-02T20:39:47.657-07:00I've also got one of the leather-cased Zenith ...I've also got one of the leather-cased Zenith Trans-Oceanic radios.

The radio was given to me by a neighbor who didn't want it because, in his words "It doesn't work." The guy wasn't old enough to know that you had to let radios and TVs with tubes in them warm up before they will come on.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-33399304453351248272013-04-29T10:11:57.304-07:002013-04-29T10:11:57.304-07:00Very cool!
