Estate Find. Zenith 10S-160...I think.
I found this today at an estate sale, and picked it up for real cheap. It looks like a Zenith 10S-160 from what I can tell.
Although I don't see the gold stripes like on some photos I found online of a 10S-160. But photos some don't. A few flea bites, but a solid cabinet, and the chassis is pretty clean. The grille cloth is in really good condition. https://i.imgur.com/B4o2M85.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/Wy5zOup.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/oCBLcXz.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/43ZCN2Y.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/9xF4Dm7.jpg |
That's mighty nice!
|
This is a good one. All you need is to work on the chassis.
|
Holy shit look at that speaker!
|
Wait till you hear that running AFTER a re cap. They are sweet !
We restored a slightly newer one & put it in the show room. Played a big band station on it ever day for years. The older folk loved the memories & young'ns couldnt believe AM could sound so good. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |

That radio was built when radio design was really interesting, not with all that glitz like push-button tuning, Radiorgans etc. Everything was there for a real reason! :thmbsp: |
I dropped it off this morning at my repair guy's place.
He's hoping its two 6A3's are still good. He doesn't currently have any. I may need to buy a couple. |

:eek: Were they 2A3 , Oh yea , second mortgage time |
I'm hoping they test OK. The radio did work as is.
|
Your radio uses 6L6 output tubes in push-pull. My Philco also uses them. Very, very sweet!
|
Ok. I messed up. I didn't take THIS radio to him yet. The one I took today is the Philco 116X
This Zenith has neither of those tubes. So....never mind. LOL too many radios. Must be getting senile. This Zenith won't be going in for a couple weeks. |
I know it's easy to loose track of which radio uses which tubes , once the collection gets much over 40 or 50 sets it becomes hard recalling their tube numbers :yes:

No warehouse here. Just love to research radios. I also love the sweet sound of 6L6's AND 6A3 triodes!
