Nice finds! I really like that RCA combo! I wonder if that Zenith is old enough to still be handwired. I've ran into a lot of SS stereo's from the '60's with a dead/weak channel and it's almost always those horrible electrolytic caps that they used back then. It just so happens that I took in a '66 SS RCA console stereo for repair just today and it had a defective filter cap. After that was replaced, one channel was very weak. Upon looking at the main chassis, it is full of those horrible black cased and silver cased electrolytic caps.

Concerning the jerk, the actions of some people never cease to amaze me. One day, people like this guy are going to need a helping hand and no one is going to be there for them. I was brought up to help others in need and not expect anything for it.
