A classic gets the full treatment. Zenith Trans-Oceanic Royal 3000-1 full restoration.

Getting to restore a Zenith Trans-Oceanic Royal 3000-1 is an honour. Being offered the opportunity to restore a second one, is a true stroke of luck.
I was contacted by a subscriber from Marbella, Spain, asking if I would do a job on his radio. He said that reception was poor, so some repair and a full alignment was needed.
He was not detracted by the cost and risk of shipping, so I had no choice but to accept, and am happy to share the experience with you.
Enjoy the video.
