My dad was a big Zenith fan- He bought a new T-O 1000 in '59, a Royal 50 in '61, and the Colonial style 731 around '63. When it was brand new, I remember he would listen to opera performances on the 731. I assumed posession of it when I entered high school, and had it on all the time. In fact, I remember listening to Howard Stern when he was an unknown local DJ in Hartford, CT. I still have this radio, but haven't used it in years. I figure the selenium rectifier should be replaced, and probably capacitors, too. I haven't done any electronics work in years, so I haven't dug into it. Seeing, this, I'd sure like to bring it back to daily use!
