Vintage Zenith Model G503 tube portable radio with its original box. Features the distinctive flip-up Bakelite dial/front insert and classic mid-century Zenith styling. Radio does power on and produces sound. I have not been able to clearly dial in a station, although it was tested inside a metal building which may affect reception. Shows typical age-related wear from use and storage. There is some wear/deterioration to the covering around portions of the power cord. Close-up photos have been included showing the blemishes/damage and areas of wear to cabinet and bakelite face plate. Nice original example with the box and a great display piece for a vintage radio, Zenith, tube radio, Bakelite, or mid-century electronics collection. See pictures for full description and condition.
Here is a cool looking horse tube novelty radio with saddle made in the 1940s in Los Angeles. This novelty radio has a few issues. The saddle has a repair and looks like it was repaired with some sort of weld are strong type of glue. The horse itself has a repair towards the back, which looked like there was previously a hole there there also is a gas next to that repair. I have not plugged the radio in due to not having a very react to power up the radio at a low voltage to not destroy the capacitors or the tubes, but the chassis looks to be complete. Also, electrical cord is in very nice shape. This is a very heavy radio at 17 pounds.
Item is in good condition with minor wear from age. Plays great and has some restorations. Like all old radios it takes a moment for the tubes to warm up. I will be listing hundreds of radios so please keep an eye on my store. Please see photos for details. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

This radio features a beautiful turquoise and ivory cabinet, adding to its unique aesthetic appeal. The radio did turn on but all I got was a loud buzz. I do live in a rural area so that may have something to do with it not picking up any stations. Both knobs seem to work fine also. It has a crack on the left side thats 1.5 in length and a small crack where the screw goes in the back. Other than that it has light surface scratches and on the top it has a dotted kinds houndstooth design of light stain where someone must has left something on top for many years. Its very hard to see in the pics but if you blow them up you can see some. Those may very well clean off. The turquoise speaker grill has some fading colors to it as well but All in all its a SUPER RARE radio in rare colors that does turn on to some buzzing noise. Please see the pictures as I tried my best to show all its flaws.
