Do anyone know of a link for a schematic for a vintage Zenith BC radio Model LH?

It works somewhat if I turn the volume all the way up. I note that an unknown resistor to the wiper on the volume pot looks fried or just falling apart due to age. I think this radio was make between 1921 and 1935. Found it at a dump and it followed me home  Grin

Zenith radios always have great audio. I hope yours will come to life and that it has a BIG SPEAKER

Interesting radio..................Looks like a Tombstone and called a Zenette. Speaker looks like there should be nice sound.

That's about the coolest twisted pair filament wiring I've ever seen on a schematic.  Not only does it represent a twisted pair but it's an AC sine wave.

I have a Westinghouse N 202.  Does anyone knows where I can get a schematic for that?

I need to find a schematic for a radio, but unfortunately there's no model number on the radio cause the rats in the barn that it must have been in chewed the label off, the thing even had mud wasp nests in it. Anyway the volume pot that is on it doesn't have an on-off position. I had to put a jumper across the switch to get it to work, and to turn it off and on I took a light switch(not a cord switch, I mean one of the wall switches) and nailed a box to the back of this thing( it was no great loss I figured, it wasn't in good shape anyway) with the switch in it and hooked that across the hot side of the wire, then put a switchplate over it to keep from getting zapped. To make a long story short, has anyone heard of the Tru-Test brand of radios?
