Minerva made for Eatons

[Dan Walker]

I just finished this console.

It is made by Electrohome for Eatons and the model is Z13A 105-E. I did not strip the cabinet as it was pretty good.
I had a friend turn me another wood knob.
The factory knobs would not be easy to get.
The radio plays very well with the caps changed. One of the things I like on this radio is the dial ;it is mirrored glass.
It does not have any scratches at all
I am surprised, because the front glass was missing, and I had to make one.

I always thought, I was alone, with my Minerva. Nice write up for this wonderful sounding piece of furniture. And yes, mine, carries the Eaton label, on the chassis as well. That automatically puts a stamp of quality on a product. I don’t have the ability, to work, on any electronics, so, did have a source, do the refurbishing last year. Glad I did. Rare is the day, I am not listening to Zoomer 740 AM on it. It makes me happy to see your post about it. Naturally, electrohome earmarks it as quality…..what else, would you expect, from Eatons. Ahah ha.

Overall….we are rare birds of a feather, with our Minerva Console Tube Radios.

I restored another MINERVA last year. It has a really different cabinet,but it turned out very nice.
I had to look up Electrohome in order to get the schematics.
