Zenith H2438R "Aldrich" restoration

[bandersen]

Here's the beast up on the workbench.
They switch the tuner to the opposition side and rotated it 90 degrees as compared to earlier models. Probably to make room for the larger picture tube.




Dual 6BQ6 horitzontal output tubes wired in parallel.


Very clean underneath. A bit more refined and simplified compared to older models. Looks like they dropped the phone-vision socket


I only see one old repair. Someone tacked in an electrolytic can cap near the front.


Finally, here's the power supply and audio amp.
