ZENITH MODEL H725 CHASSIS 7G01Z AM / FM RADIO. YEAR BUILT 1951. "OFFERED AT NO RESERVE". ORIGINALLY FITTED WITH A SELENIUM RECTIFIER. I HAVE PICKED THROUGH A MOUNTAIN OF THESE AND FOUND YOU THE BEST ONE. BUYING ONE OF THESE THAT HAS NOT HAD THE ELECTRONICS RESTORED IS LIKE BUYING A TICKING BOMB. YOU HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE MODELS BUT NONE EVEN CLOSE TO THIS ONE. TWO THINGS TO NOTE ON THESE RADIO'S,.... AS YOU SEE IN PICTURE # 11 . ZENITH HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL # 1 THE HANDLE AND # 2 THE DIAL PLATE. I HAVE PURCHASED MANY ZENITH'S TO FIND THE PERFECT HANDLE........... * I FOUND ONE, ON A PERFECT RADIO. "WELL", IT DID NOT SEEM FITTING TO ASK OF THAT BEAUTY TO GIVE UP ITS HANDLE. * SOLUTION # 2 FIND THE PERFECT HANDLE, AND I DID ? . AFTER PUTTING ALL THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER AT THE END OF A LENGTHY PROCESS, I DECIDED TO GIVE THE HANDLE A GOOD TESTING OUT, IT FAILED AS MANY DO, THEY CRUMBLE LIKE A OVERDONE COOKIE. SO BEING IN THE HEART OF CATTLE COUNTRY, (AND Y'ALL THOUGHT IT WAS TEXAS?) A TRIP DOWN TO THE LOCAL TACK AND SADDLE REPAIR SHOP NETTED A NEW COWHIDE HANDLE WITH THE ORIGINAL HINGE BRACKET SEWN INSIDE. THE DIAL PLATE IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOLKS, I HAVE TAKEN MANY PICTURES TO SHOW YOU ITS CONDITION. IT GETS A 9 OUT OF 10. THE CASE IS FLAWLESS, NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. IN THE PICTURES, IF YOU SEE WHAT MAY LOOK LIKE FLAWS ? read more
