How to repair Zenith 5808 8S463 tube console dead Radio broken band switch numerous problems
Yes, another Zenith console in need of attention. Not in line with my current priorities, but I needed some fun time. This one has the 5808 chassis. A very popular radio. Cabinet is in super condition. The radio itself, not so great, however repairable. I was almost ready to give up, since it had so many issues, then it spoke to me, I was sold at that point, time to restore this beauty. This is part 1. Part 2 will wrap up the repair. Not sure when I can get back to it. I have been swamped and need to address incoming repair jobs. Will do my best my friends. Thanks to all for being part of the D-lab journey. TD
