This is the dial assembly for my Zenith 9S65 I picked up at last years Radio Fest for FREE. The speaker was missing but I did have a spare that works great. Dial assembly was in need of a belt and some lubrication, but now she's perfect. There's no telling what you'll find at ARCI's Donation Auctions. Don't miss our regular swap meet Saturday, October 10, 2026 starting at 8am at The American Legion Hall, 570 S. Gary Ave, Carol Stream, Ill.

Your feedback please - Radiofest Expo XLII 2026

Most participants noticed that it rained hard Friday and Saturday. We took full advantage of the indoor space and covered entry at the Shriners. Everyone remembered to Keep Calm and Carry On.

This is the third year of indoor swap meet space availability, the second year for the indoor donation sale and as previously, a dedicated room for Saturday's presentations.

Every year the Radiofest team do an after-action review based on observations and your input. Based on that, we make changes for the coming year event.

Please send me your thoughts and suggestions to:
