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. :-)

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.

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).

There are at least a couple of Trans-O web sites. Try Google on "Zenith Trans
Oceanic" and see what pops up. Usuallythese "copanion" BC-only radios are
mentioned. --Mike K.

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

Say, what is the GE P-780? Is that like a Superradio, or something nicer, with
SW?
Tnx, Mike K.

Here it is Mike, all it's for is the BCB, unbelievable piece. :-)

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.

Regards,

Phil
