On the bench: Zenith K731 (7M07)

This poor radio has seen better days and doesn’t quite live up to modern safety standards with regards to mains electricity.  But the look is great and there’s generous space inside for a small tube amp. Because the enclosure must be allowed to vent for the tube amp to dissipate heat, the speaker (which I also plan to modernize) will be a small challenge. This is a great candidate for a DIY tube radio restoration.

Probable features:

  • 3-5W single channel output
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Aux input (analog)
  • Volume control
  • EQ (either treble/bass knobs or loudness contour)
  • Safety!

  1. I am in awe of what you know and how you convey it. It’s Greek to me but incredibly I impressive. Besides…..a new language might be just what I should learn!
