Restoring a Zenith Trans-Oceanic

The Zenith Trans-Oceanic is widely regarded as the finest portable shortwave radio ever made. Produced from 1942 through the late 1970s, it represents the peak of American consumer electronics craftsmanship.

Each restoration begins with a full safety inspection before any power is applied. The HT supply on early models reaches V_max = 90V — well within the danger threshold. Handle with care.

The Trans-Oceanic was not just a radio. It was a passport.
— Zenith collector, 2019
