About this product

Product Information

The previously untold story of the Zenith Trans-Oceanic, the world's most romantic and expensive series of portable radios, now in a newly revised & expanded edition. Long a companion of kings, presidents, transoceanic yachtsmen and world explorers, the Trans-Oceanic was also carried into battle by American troops in three wars. Its great popularity in spite of a very high price can be laid at the feet of several generations of armchair travelers who used the shortwave capabilities of the Trans-Oceanic as a window on the world. With access to the Zenith corporate archives and their long experience as radio enthusiasts and writers for both the popular and scholarly press, Professors Bryant and Cones present the engrossing stories of the development and use of the Trans-Oceanic throughout its forty year life. They present a wealth of never-before published photographs, documents and information concerning these fascinating radios, their collection, preservation and restoration.

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    A good book for Zenith fans but...

    The book is subjective to the likes of the authors. You won't find much about the R-7000 except for a purist account of it not being a legitimate member of the ZTO family due to the band frequency arrangement blah-blah. Granted the title does indicate Trans-Oceanic, and even though some of the companion radios are listed, others are not. The actual book is quality, heavy stock paper and provides a lot of useful information, at least enough to wet your appetite!

  • History of the Zenith Trans-Oceanic Radio Receivers

    As a fan and collector of Zenith transistor Trans-Oceanic radio receivers, I find this work indispensable, it is well researched and pleasantly written. Very valuable too in documenting an important constituent of consumer electronics evolution over 60 years, makes you nostalgic of gone times when we were still capable of amazement. It is a shame it is not published as a hardcover.

  • Excellent book

    Great Book for Zenith radio fans!
