Maybe someone else has a later TSM, or some other listing. - FARMERIK Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:09:11 GMT weathermax1 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/144 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/144 Yes I just looked at the set . Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:32:12 GMT farmerik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/143 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/143 Are you sure about the model # being 6263? I can't find it in my SAM's TSM index. - FARMERIK Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:23:47 GMT farmerik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/142 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/142 If you are talking about two transformers near two output jacks, that could be one for an external speaker and the other for an earphone.

Recapped the set changed volume control , as well as the variable capacitor. Now I get a static on the local am station. I also noticed in the set Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:59:17 GMT farmerik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/140 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/140 Look here for some GE World Monitors- http://www.universal-radio.com/USED/sold185.html I have the big one at the bottom of that page. -FARMERIK Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:45:39 GMT farmerik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/139 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/139 Those probably have a chrome 'grill' on the front similar to some autos from Detroit around that time. Something like my big AM FM Zenith. It has 8 D cells Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:49:32 GMT keith beesley http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/138 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/138 Farmerik, Somehow I missed this yesterday. The P-780 and P-865 came out around the same time, late 50s-early 60s, and look almost identical, except the 780 is Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:03:52 GMT farmerik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/137 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/137 I have a Lloyds AM SW1 SW2 table radio, made to look like a Grundig tube model, but it is transistorized, and powered by C or D cells ONLY. Also a SONY AM SW Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:20:08 GMT farmerik http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/136 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/136 For some reason my mother's family always bought GE radios, and when they didn't work, all electronics were sent to me. I know the portable GE's from the late Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:44:18 GMT keith beesley http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/135 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/135 You'd like a GE P-780 if you don't already have one--AM only but great audio and sensitivity. They come up on ebay once in a blue moon for not much $.

I noticed some of the late tube portables, and thought maybe I should get one Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:44:25 GMT keith beesley http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/133 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/133 I have no ZTOs yet, but in my Zenith collection, I have tube and transistor sets, table models, portables, even a portable b&w tube TV ;-), made between the Tue, 29 Dec 2009 23:55:22 GMT pidgeorige http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/132 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TransistorRadios/message/132 I have both tube and transistor Zenith TO's and they both are capable of about the same reception. Of course, the different era's may have different band
