Zenith H472W Circle of Sound, Year??

[Nolan Woodbury]

Hi John,

Paint thinner will remove the film, but prolonged use might eat the plastic. If you do use thinner, wipe it and the dried glue away with Simple Green by only doing a small section at a time. I've also had good luck using WD40, but that won't work as well if the P/O used Super Glue or something really strong.

You can also try soaking it with the WD40, and then attacking it with a sharp wood edge. Hardwoods -like oak or maple- make the best scrapers. Make sure the oil doesn't run all over something you'd like to keep nice, as even that might foul up a dial lens, lift the wood grain or spoil the chrome-plated trim.

I have the later, digital version (plus the pure radio Circle of Sound versions; like the one with the upside down, 360-degree funnel) and use it daily. Zenith also made radio-only models in the same cabinet, and that seems a nice radio to have as well. I'm looking for one of those, in fact.

Capt Moody likes to call vintage solid state radios daily drivers, and that's a good description; they are very reliable and sound great-
