Snappy Auctions Payment - Shipping - Returns - About Us ZENITH TRANS-OCEANIC TRANSOCEANIC SW RADIO 8G005 YT Up for auction is this Vintage Zenith Trans-Oceanic Short Wave Radio 8G005YT The Design The Trans-Oceanic series of portable shortwave receivers is legendary because these radios were used a lot by American soldiers in various wars in the 1940-1960 period. The construction was very rugged. The MW loop antenna (called Wave Magnet) could be taken out of the case and connected via an extension cable. The 8G005 was the second line of Zenith TransOceanics, produced between 1947 and 1950. It is the model with highest tube count (8) because it has both a push-pull output, and a tube rectifier for mains operation.
