zenith: new schema and service manual

I loaded an other schema and a service manual to the model.
M stands in old US shemas for Mille. See Wikipedia: Mille, the number one thousand, derived from Latin. Kilo is also thousand. So Bryan is right: M means kΩ. = 1 000 Ohm In German schemas M stands for Meg. = 1 000 000 |

Dear collegues, I found in a deplorable situation a radio device Zenith 702 made in 1934 – in I bought from In the drawing attached , the most resistances are marked with M character. Does somebody knows what this mark represents? Under the chassis , fixed on the wall with caps, is a wire wound resistance , wich, unfortunately is destroyed. Does somebody knows the value of this resistance and the wats, also its position in the drawing? I am asking Mr. BIRKNER to reply, because I saw that he has a Zenith 702. Best regards, Ion Carabas (e-mail address: ion.carabas[A*T]coneco.ro) . Attachments

If you could post a picture of the chassis and the part you need to ID, it would be a big help. .M (with the point) would be correct for Kiloohms but better and more often used is k or K - and we see here why ...

Please trace the connections of the resistor to other elements, e.g. tube pins. That should result in a clear allocation in the schematic and consequently the values. I am currently not in the position to dismantle the set Good luck, |

It is always a big help if members load up photos of the wiring of an untouched set after dismantling. Explanations are then much easier. There are only a very few possibilities for this wire wound resistor (which can be within a small shielded case) but since we don't want to guesswork (cathode resistor of the 75 - if having only two wires), we better wait for the photos - which might help later for other guests or members. |

Dear Mr. Ernst, I have to confess that I did not espect for help so soon from the collegues from Radiomuseum. I had the sensation that I am in a family, emotion wich gave me a spiritualy calm. I will prepare urgently photos. Thank you, Ion |

Hello Ion, please read my new thread about the resistors. It makes sense to crop the pictures before reducing to 933 pixel. So you can show more details. Please loade your best pictures direct to the model page. Regards, Heribert |

This AC/DC set originally had a resister cord to drop the line voltage to the proper level for the filament string. The old destroyed part on the side of your set is (was) a candohm resister, that was probably part of an earlier attempt to do away with the resister cord so that a modern type input cord could be used. It is pretty common to run into this with these older sets with resister cords. They can be quite dangerous (fire hazard) with the higher voltages we use today. They were built for 110 volts, but usually today you will get 120 volts and up to 130V. That's too much for those old cords, and they will over heat. The large gold resister seems to be a replacement for the destroyed candohm resister. It appears to be between the on/off switch and the filament string. The purpose would be to drop line voltage in place of the resister cord. If you could check the line cord for it's resistance value, that should verify this theory. If it has little to no resistance, then we are on the right track. If it is 145 ohms, then the old resister cord is still in place, and we need to go another direction.

Dear Heribert, Please tell me where I shall search your material about resistors. In the nearest future I will crop the photos. Please be understable with me, because I manage hard with the computer, because I am 73 years old.
Thank you, Ion Carabas |

The element in question contains two resistors of 75oo Ohm and 250 Ohm resp., and a capacitor of 0.05 µFas follows: A - B = 7500 Ohm B - C = 0.05 µF, in parallel a 10 kOhm resistor E C - D = 250 Ohm (schematic says 200 Ohm). Point D is chassis Note: the cap is not directly connected with chassis ground, as suggested by the schematics! Here is the configuration as found in my 702 (compare with the "official" schematic): Good luck |

Dear Kobi, Now everything is clear. Thank you and I wish to you healthy. Ion |

Thank you for the schematics. I observed that something is missing and that is the value of the condenser marked with the green circle. Attachments
