This radio is listed in Wikipedia as one of the most popular radios from Zenith. The 1937 Zenith Model 5S-220 also known as the “Cube” was built the same year Amelia Earhart and co-pilot Fred Noonan vanished over the Pacific Ocean on their Round-the-World Flight. The knob lineup is as follows: Left knob ON/OFF Volume, Center knob Tuning and right knob Bass/Treble/Shortwave. The wood cabinet looks great some wear to the top little separation but no loss. The AC power cord has either been tarnished due to it’s age but I was able to power on/test this radio. Back speaker plug is missing but i was able to find the schematics and plug it in. I was able to get some stations with a lots of hum noise due to bad capacitors. This radio will need to be restored electronically. The black dial paper is in immaculate condition. Original perfect condition knobs. The radio measures approximately 9 1/2″ by 10″ by 10 7/8. Be sure to check out my other auctions as I have several other vintage radios for sale!
