1933 Zenith - Ford Model A glovebox radio

Emmett approves.

 

It arrived back. Tested and thankfully the ******** burned out before anything else bit the dust.

Quietly hidden a 12-6v buck converter inside, and rewired the power switch to power it up.

We have glowing bottles and music again.

Put it back in the case. I need to scrub down and repaint the front cover because it was in and out of the dash a few times during fabrication of a support bracket and got a little dinged up.

Rubbed the front down.

Applied wrinkle black paint and stuck it in the oven at 205° for about 5 minutes.

Comes out looking real pretty. Stinks the house up though.

Once that's fully set, I'll re***emble the set and send it on its way.

There we go.


Looks nice again.

Fantastic work. If you look up “attention to detail” this thread should pop up.

 

You did an amazing job! Look at that beautiful pentode glowing. Definitely inspiring to get fixing my own receiver.
