The 6G601M was a "companion" set to the original 7G605 TransOceanic. (BC
band only, thus simpler and cheaper than the TO.)

More info on both models can be found at http://antiqueradio.org/transoc.htm
.. My 6G601M is still unrestored, so I can't comment on the performance.

PU one of these for three dollars at a yard sale yesterday. It's model
#6-G-601-M, has a 'sailing ship' sewn into the cloth grill over the
speaker.

It's just AM but what the hey, I saw one on ebay. Any one in here ever
own
one and can tell me about the performance, I've googled all night. One
guy
said "it's could really pu those signals"..but that is just one persons
opinion.

It has a real cool looking 'Wave Magnet' in the back that is connected to
the radio, pretty wild looking IMO...lol....anyone have any idea as to
the
year it was made or a link you can throw my way?

It'd be appreciated. :-)

Wanna double your investment? :)

What are you saying Barry? It's worth $6.00 {?} ;-P

These were made just after WW2. I have one here that I am restoring that
was
made in 1946. In complete, but non working condition, they are worth
$10-15, in
working condx $30-$60. It is my understanding that they worked very good,
I'll
let the group know when I get mine operational.

Thanks for the info Wayne. :-)

Yeah, I'd give you $6 for it! :)
Sounds like you're going to have some fun with it. I'm finishing up a
restoration on a Zenith Transoceanic H-500. Stripped and recovered the cabinet
and am working on getting the electronics done. Unfortunately, this one didn't
have the expensive 1L6 that it really needs to work properly.

Have fun,

These sets are essentially Trans-Oceanics without the SW bands. They are
*extremely* potent at picking up BC band stations, especially when you
rotate
the Wave Magnet antenna to null out interfering stations (since the
selectivity
isn't all that great).

WOW Mike, that's great to hear. I wonder though if it'll rival the P-780,
now THAT would be something. :-) Thanks Mike!

There are some workarounds for the missing 1L6. A guy over on
rec.antiques.radio+phono makes an adaptor to use the older loctal tube, and
there's a sub for the 1L6 if you just want it to make some sounds...although
the sub (can't remember the #, someone will chime in with it) doesn't have
very good h.f. performance.

Many good resources on the web, in case you're not already aware of them. A
good place to start is he http://trans-oceanic.fortunecity.net/index.html
