This session we take a beautiful Zenith farm radio that is originally run off of a 6 volt storage battery and change it to work off of standard 120 volt 60 cycle AC. The radio had several other problems to fix also.

Great to see you again Ron! You're repair vids are the best. So informative and I'm always amazed at your talents with electronics. It's interesting that chassis is one of the few farm sets from the '30's that has a constant dial lamp that I have seen. By the way Ron, it looks like the repro knobs are the correct one for Zenith models with that chassis. They were Bakelite with and octagonal design. A departure from the typical wooden type. The wood "pinch" knobs would be incorrect.

I have it near my electronic work bench as a reminder of my first car a 53 Chevrolet I purchased in 1966 for 75 bucks. The radio speaker was mounted in a chrome dash, and boy, it sounded good...........

I might be wrong, maybe it's hard to tell from the perspective of my laptops screen, but a LOT of these solderjoints look like proper cold joints to me, e.g. those at the fuse @13:20... And, a fuse, that is not properly installed with a fuse holder, is probably carrying mains and is "glued" to a switch looks fuckin dangerous to me...

Thanks for a great video, Ron, you do some fantastic work. I'm in the UK and lived on a small farm along with my family in Yorkshire. I was about 4, but at the time we'd just moved there and didn't have mains electricity. It would have been 1954. Some of my early memories are of a man turning up every week in a Morris Minor van, and replacing the wet battery of our radio. So, it seems we had farm radios in England too! Happy days!

Another Zenith farm radio conversion . This is a model 4-B-131 with chassis 5406. Not an easy radio to work on since rodents got to an IF transformer! Ron's cat loves supervising. Restoring it with new replacement caps and properly measured resistors would be next but it would make a very long video. Another excellent conversion to AC power Ron.
