Default FS: Zenith Transoceanic 3000-1 w/ all Manuals

FS: Zenith Transoceanic multiband radio model 3000-1. Comes with
original user manual, service manual, and wave guide. Dates from early
1960's I believe. In full working order and in good cosmetic
condition. Radio is fully intact but is missing the external DC Power
supply. I powered it up with a 12v DC adapter and it works fine after
a bit of warmup period (a couple minutes).

Here is a short blurb I pulled from the web about the 3000-1. Please
disregard any grammatical errors as this is a translated version of the
page:

Zenith Transoceanic mod. Royal 3000-1 - USA 1964. With this model the
portable receivers Transoceanic like with the range FM (88 - 108 MHz)
inserted, naturally remains Long-waves (200 to 400 KHz like in the
model "1000-D"), Medium-wave (540 - 1600 kHz) and 7 ranges of Short
waves (2 - 18,5 MHz), but in order to make space to the Modulated
Frequency is eliminated to range of Short Waves (20,7 - 22,5 MHz) that
existed instead in the "1000". This Radio was constructed and
commercialized in USA from 1964 to 1971 when came replaced from model
7000. Inside the houses to there is not more the detachable Wavemagnet
antenna, but remains that one on the top of the houses, arranged under
the handle that contains always the rod antenna. The circuit comprise
12 transistors (the list is to here), the intermediate frequencies to
are 10,7 455 MHz for the FM and KHz for AM. The radio can be fed by
batteries (9 x 1,5 V type D or LR20) or with an external source of
voltage (12 V d.c.) through appropriated jack place on the left side.
On the frontal panel to there to are the usual control knobs: tuning,
on-off-volume and tone, switch for dial lamps and another for the
Automatic Frequency Control in FM. The houses is always metallic with
extended chromium plated parts, but the finishes is in feint black
skin. Regarding the previous models the aspect is diversified also for
the thickening of the back cover, in order to contain the greater
quantity of circuits two to the FM. Always "special" the sound that
like from the small 4" loudspeaker, with 500 mW output power on 3,2
Ohm. The dimensions to are 32 x 26 x 14 and the weight is approximately
6,2 Kg with batteries.


Asking $100 obo plus shipping costs within the US. There is a little
bit of corrosion in the battery compartment but nothing that could not
be cleaned up very easily. Please contact me with any offers or
questions.


thanks,
