Zenith R7000-2 Trans-Oceanic
(plastic transistor portable radio w/FM/SW)

Zenith R7000-2 Trans-Oceanic

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This is a superb radio and a rare radio in that only 75,000 were made. Only 25,000 R7000-2's were made. It is not just serviced but is restored to original playing condition that will last another 40 years. I replaced all 21 electrolytic capacitors (see picture) by taking the radio completely apart and I aligned each band for peak performance. I also clean the pots and bandswitch as well as lubed it. In this way the radio is back to the original values and plays like new. The -2 is the last of the R-7000 series and is sought after because it has large gears for its tuner. They do not break. Where as the R7000 and R7000-1 have a small gear on the tuner and they tend to break. The other problem with these radios, that no one ever talks about, is the bandswitch clicking mechanism. Half of the radios today do not have that working. This one's bandswitch clicker works well. One year warranty. The radio will be shipped back to you by USPS Priority which only takes 2-3 days. You can also read some of my feedback on restorations at eBay under Hammer39.
