Peter,
Yes as I mentioned in the article on mine that I posted the link to, many ZC1's were subjected to fairly extreme modifications. At the time though I don't think the folks doing this saw the ZC1 in the same sort of historically significant way we do today. So they were not shy to drill holes and radically change the circuits.
One ZC1 MK2 I have was radically modified, it was made into a "Marine Transceiver". They modified the oscillators to be crystal oscillators, a Pierce circuit (actually pretty clever). It took me a while to undo all the mods and convert the set to original.
The quality build of the ZC1 is one of its most awe inspiring features. I'm a pretty tough judge of the builds of many radios and it takes a lot to get me excited about a design, but the ZC1 sure does it for me.
Hugo.
