Zenith Wave Magnet :-)
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. :-) -- ^~^~^Monitoring The Spectrum^~^~^~^ *********Hammarlund129X & 140X********** ^^^^^^^^Heathkit Q Multiplier^^^^^^^^^ *~*~++++++GO BEARCATS++++++~*~*~ GE P-780 -- ^~^~^Monitoring The Spectrum^~^~^~^ *********Hammarlund129X & 140X********** ^^^^^^^^Heathkit Q Multiplier^^^^^^^^^ *~*~++++++GO BEARCATS++++++~*~*~ GE P-780 |

One guy said "it's could really pu those signals"..but that is just one persons opinion. 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.

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.
