  1. Hi, I went to a yard sale and got a Zenith Royal 275 Radio for $3.00. No instructions on it put in new batteries but don’t work. Should I take it to someone to look at it?

    1. Hi Elisa, Nice find. I would say yes, take it to somebody if you know someone. It could be something simple, or perhaps not. Usually repairs start at $30, mostly for labor as parts are cheap if available. Good luck. Gary

    1. Hi Kim, I see your order. The small volume knob will be sent out USPS first class mail with an expected delivery time of 5 business days. I will put it in the mail Monday, expect to receive it Friday. Thanks, Gary
