just picked up a 1963 dated 3000-1, well used but it sounds great, thanks for the tip about the dial light! i was wondering why the battery case had 3 wires!, im going to use 18650's 3=12v and a 1.5 AA holder for the light.
@@hasankabakci8362 the caps that are usually bad are the ones surrounding the volume and tone controls. They are electrolytic caps. Be sure to observe polarity. I usually take a lot of pictures so that I get things correct. Let us know how it goes.
Another great video Kent! Love the Zenith Transoceanic 3000 restore! Man that's quite a whip antenna!!
The 3000 is a very nice looking radio, with great sound. :)
Those Sonys shortwaves from that era are notorious for having bad smd caps going bad on them.
"I won't be able to turn it in for warranty" 🤣🤣

Glad I could help.. It's a beautiful radio.
The 0.33 uf cap in the tone circuit had a soft plastic sleeve on it. Any idea why?
Insulation. It was placed in very tight.
2 transistors are getting hot and there is no sound (121-373)
Hmm. Maybe a shorted output transformer or a shorted speaker lead?
Thank you. Which capasitors do i need to change
There no sound and i controlled theres no shorted thing
