ZENITH TRANS-OCEANIC A600 (1958) SHORTWAVE PORTABLE PROFESSIONABLY REFURBISHED
Present your best items with Auctiva's FREE Scrolling Gallery. ZENITH TRANS-OCEANIC MODEL A600 (1958) SN 6424128 PROFESSIONALLY REFURBISHED ELECTRONICALLY AND COSMETICALLY. THIS MODEL INTRODUCED THE SIX TUBE 6A40 CHASSIS WHICH WAS PRETTY MUCH THE PINNACLE OF CONSUMER RADIO PERFORMANCE FOR THE LATE 1950'S PERIOD. PRODUCED FOR THE 1958 MODEL YEAR ONLY, A600 WAS A POPULAR RADIO WITH CONSUMERS AND WAS THE NEXT TO LAST TUBE MODEL IN THE FAMED TRANS-OCEANIC LINE.
IT REMAINS HIGHLY DESIRABLE WITH COLLECTORS NOT ONLY FOR HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF ITS HIGH PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS. FEATURES BROADCAST PLUS SIX SHORTWAVE BANDS FOR RECEPTION OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTS. RADIO WAS COMPLETELY RE-CAPPED, AND A FILT-R-PAK+ INSTALLED. FILT-R-PAK+ EFFECTS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE POWER SUPPLY BY REPLACING ALL FIVE FILTER CAPACITORS, RECTIFIER, AND THE POWER RESISTOR IN A SINGLE OPERATION.
TUBES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY, AND IT HAS BEEN IF/RF ALIGNED FOR PEAK SENSITIVITY AND ACCURATE DIAL READOUT. A STRONG PERFORMER ACROSS ALL SEVEN BANDS, THIS RECEIVER HAS GREAT SENSITIVITY, LOTS OF VOLUME, AND BEAUTIFUL TONE. TELESCOPIC ANTENNA IS STRAIGHT, EXTENDS FULLY, AND LATCHES DOWN AND POPS UP AS IT SHOULD.
A COMPLETE SET OF NEW DIAL CORDS WAS INSTALLED, AND ALL SWITCHES AND CONTROLS, INCLUDING THE TUNING TOWER, HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND LUBRICATED FOR SMOOTH, CRISP OPERATION. TESTED AND PLAYS ON BOTH AC AND BATTERY WITH APPROPRIATE BATTERY PACK. BRASS FIXTURES WERE POLISHED AND CLEAR COATED AND PLASTIC TRIM WAS CLEANED AND POLISHED. MINOR REPAIRS TO THE CABINET COVERING WERE MADE BEFORE BEING COMPLETELY RE-DYED FOR DEEP, EVEN COLOR. THE KNOB BRIGHTS ARE NEW REPLICAS.
BEAUTIFUL ON DISPLAY, AND IT PLAYS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS. RADIO IS GUARANTEED TO BE AS ADVERTISED AND NOT DOA.
