752

Large AB battery pack used in Zenith Trans Oceanics, Zenith Universal portables and other multiband tube portables.

Equivalents:

• Zenith Z-985
• Burgess G6B60
• Eveready 752
• Neda 400
• Hallicrafters P999
• Ray-O-Vac AB995
• Sears 6401
• RCA VS047

Unlike the Neda 401 / Eveready 753 there doesn't appear to be a UK Ever Ready equvalent.

Various sizes are given and also some evidence that later the pack was a little shorter or different brand was slightly smaller.

Contained 4 stacks of 15 layer cells for 90V HT and 6 off "F" type cells (about 50% longer than D cells) for 9V LT.

Battery compartment can be misleading for size as the radioconnector protrudes more than other types of battery and many Zenith Transoceanic sets used a separate Z1 cell for scale lamp/dial bulb.

Dimensions given vary:

• W: 343 ... 368 mm
• H: 104 ... 114 mm
• D: 63.5 ... 70 mm

Note that on a Zenith Transoceanic the base of the battery is toward front panel and thus H & D of the compartment are swapped.

Here you find 157 models, 138 with images and 20 with schematics for wireless sets etc. In French: TSF for Télégraphie sans fil.
All listed radios etc. from Eveready (Ever Ready), AENMC / National Carbon Company (NCC); Columbia
