Discussions about radios and tuners. Do you have an old radio that is giving you fits? This is the place to talk about them, along with stand-alone radio tuners, tube and solid state, stereo and mono.

Zenith

Post: # 23322Post TC Chris »

I've got a Zenith model MJ1035-1, a large AM-FM stereo table radio, missing its separate second speaker. I'm assuming it's an 8" speaker but wonder if anybody has one of these and could send dimensions and photo? I'd like to make a second speaker that approximates the original. Could probably do it by eye from the radio's cabinet, but sometimes it's best to investigate first.

We've talked about stacking....

I think those external speakers had an 8" and an electrostatic tweeter like in the main cabinet. I sold a radio like that at my sale that did not have an original external speaker. I rigged up an old 6X9 car speaker, no cabinet, just hung up on the shop wall. I put the radio on my tool box and used it for a shop radio for years. That model was actually a good radio. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the balance knob and the volume knob were together. Zenith did that on lots of their equipment. Stupid design. I have a pair of 6" speakers with tiny little tweeters I robbed out of a cheap console stereo with a junk cabinet. The Zenith external speaker looked like 3/4 of the speaker grille in the main cabinet, IIRC. The radio has 12 tubes with SE 6AS5 audio output..... :D
