Restore Your Zenith Console Radio to Perfect Tuning

There's nothing quite like the moment a vintage Zenith console radio comes back to life — the warm glow of the dial, the smooth sweep of the tuning pointer gliding across the frequency band. But when the original dial belt has dried, cracked, or snapped, that magic is lost. Our Zenith Radio Dial Belt Replacement brings it back. Engineered specifically for vintage Zenith console radios, this 2-pack of pre-glued elastic dial belts is ready to install and built to last.

Premium Materials for a Slip-Free, Smooth Tuning Experience

Every belt is constructed with a polyester and rubber elastic core wrapped in a stretchy cotton fabric sleeve — the same combination that made original dial belts so reliable. The fabric exterior provides the ideal grip against vintage pulley systems, eliminating slippage while allowing the smooth, effortless rotation your radio's tuning mechanism demands. Each belt is pre-glued with superglue at the ends, forming a seamless loop that holds its shape through years of use. And if your console needs a slightly smaller fit, simply cut and re-glue to custom-size the belt in minutes.

Compatible with Dozens of Zenith Vintage Radio Models

This dial belt is a proven fit for a wide range of Zenith console models, including:

  • 6S249, 6S254, 6S256, 6S341, 6S362
  • 7J232, 7J259, 7S232, 7S240, 7S242, 7S258, 7S260
  • 9S204, 9S232, 9S242, 9S244, 9S262, 9S263, 9S264, 9S365
  • 12S205, 12S232, 12S245, 12S265, 12S266, 12S267, 12S268
  • 15U246, 15U269, 15U270, 15U272, 15U273

Pro tip: Before installing, remove the tuning system spring and clean and oil all pivot points for the smoothest possible operation.

Each order includes 2 (two) replacement dial belts.

Thanks so much for the belts! I'm still working on replacing the caps and resistors, but I can tell they will be perfect. Your store is excellent and I will be telling my friends in our radio club!

The product worked fine in my Zenith receiver. The buy to receive time was a bit too long for my purposes; but the company did get back to me quickly when I pointed out the difficulty.
