- 1938 Zenith 9S262
I had a presentation to do about antique radios at school and I couldn't bring a console there so I decided to make video.
This video shows the shutter dial in action, the motorized tuning, the 6E5 Magic Eye as well as the tone settings and the sensitivity setting.
The radio sports its original finish (bad lighting, it looks way too red…). The capacitors have all been replaced as well as a few resistors and tubes.
Please excuse my poor editing skills.
Thanks for watching!
Whoever gave this a thumbs down should seek counseling.
Awesome radio!
The 60/120/180 Hz hum makes me feel warm. I grew up in the tube age in a very cold place, and I remember coming inside after playing or doing chores on the farm and turning on the big radio to help warm up the room. I can't recall the brand or the model of that radio, but I do remember that it had a record cutter in the top which my mother sometimes used to record her music and voice. Tape recorders were available when I was a child, but they were hideously expensive; little did we know that, someday, we would be able to record the equivalent of millions of 78 rpm records and/or many thousands of 7" reel-to-reel tapes on what is, essentially, a piece of sand smaller than a fingernail.
Progress? I suppose, but I still like hearing just the tiniest bit of A.C. hum in the background.
I'm only 47 years old, but I've always loved these old-fashioned devices, especially these old console radios. My late grandmother used to tell me that I'm an old soul because I prefer devices from her youth rather than my own time.
Had one like this at home. No TV but could you ever use your imagination by listening to the likes of "The Shadow" and "The Lone Ranger"
Some of those old radio shows were absolutely terrifying, because you could not see the monster.
Awesome!
Wow. I have one. Have not tried it yet..at all. Besides a light bulb online, any other advice? Btw what was that searching about? And the dial changing?!?
I really need to get to fixing the 9S262 sitting on the other end of this room...where it has sat for over 20 years waiting for me to get to it. I think I'm inspired to get it going. Thanks!
masterpiece. I fell in love with it!!!
they are neat radios
such a beautiful console!!
I can hardly believe that this vintage beauty is still fully functional. That's crazy.
Cause they made stuff to last
Been restored!
@@SuperWoodyboy awesome!
Just purchased one of these restored. Wonderful console. Do you recommend I have backups of all the tubes?
Wanna sell it?
Yes, get tube backups just in case one fails, and tube replacements are cheap
Beautiful radio!
That did it !
I "need" one...😀
The art of radio!
