Zenith Trans-Oceanic "Royal 1000D" SWL night G5RV operation

0:00 - 1961 Zenith Royal 1000D 9 Transistor Shortwave Portable, with all original components. Battery operation only. Only the Dial bulbs were replaced with LED bulbs, and the spring taken out of the Dial Light switch.
The 1000D is attached to my G5RV antenna via the antenna terminals on the backside of the radio instead of the built in telescopic WAVEROD built in antenna (in the carry handle).
This an "AM only" shortwave operating from 150khz to 22mhz
Designed and manufactured in Chicago, IL
