This Zenith radio came to me partially working with the wrong knobs. The cabinet was left alone. The radio was electronically restored. All electrolytic and wax capacitors were replaced. Several out of spec resistors were replaced. The speaker was in excellent condition with no tears or holes in the cone. The most challenging part of the restoration was a bad tone control. The tone control was made of a thin conductive paint that had deteriorated. A conductive glue was applied to the deteriorated areas of the tone control to repair to control. Replacement reproduction knobs were installed.

I have one of these zenith 5-S-119 radios. I don’t know if it works or not. The power cord is missing. I am looking for someone that would buy it and restore it. Its not in too bad of shape. I also have a 1904 Silverstone that I’d like to get rid of. Feel free to email me

I no longer own that radio.
