Have a Zenith 10s567 and had to install a new power switch. I ended up not accurately recording where the high side post connects within the chassis. Anyone have any idea on this? |

If this radio has a power transformer, you could use an ohmmeter connected to the side of the power plug the switch is not connected to (this should connect to one of the power transformer primary leads) search around to find the other primary lead. The resistance would be in the tens of ohms or lower. This assumes that there are only two primary leads. That should be where the switch wire connects to. Then use a "dim bulb" tester (a pair of power outlets wired in series, one with a 100 watt lamp, the other with the radio. If the bulb lights brightly, there's an error. If it's dim, you probably have it correct. If no light, check that the switch is on. If that's not it, there's an error. Also as a final check, there should be infinite resistance between the chassis and the power plug. |
