Antique radio grill cloth. To add us to your favorites. Here we have one of zenith’s. Most elegant tombstone radios ever produced; the absolutely stunning 1936. Zenith model 5-s-29 long distance tombstone radio featuring a beautiful walnut. Cabinet is just gorgeous. Beautiful wood grain flows throughout the entire elegant burl grain runs across the bottom of the cabinet and really catches. A large art deco grill not only looks great but allows for optimal. Sound from the speaker. It all comes together magnificently when powered up and. The brightly lit black dial comes to life shining an array of different colors. Dark walnut trim adds the perfect contrast and finishes the cabinet off with. You’ll be the envy of all with this masterpiece proudly. Displayed in any room of your home or office. One of zenith’s most. When turned off the dial is a normal black dial with. White lettering and numbers. When powered up the dual dial lamps illuminate the. Dial very bright and displaying an array of colors from red, to green, to. All letters and numbers on the dial are legible and show virtually no. What a spectacular sight! The white ‘z’ pointer moves nice and. Smooth across the entire dial as does its sleek red partner for super fine vernier. Tuning with pinpoint accuracy. The dial glass is clear and free from any chips, breaks, or cracks. All four wood ‘z’ knobs are in perfect shape and control the. Grill cloth is a fine reproduction featuring a classic whiskey gold. Color with an art deco geometric design. All tubes in the 5 tube chassis were tested with any weak tubes being replaced. All caps, filters, and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. All brittle or bare wiring was replaced or re-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimal performance. I’m able to pull in stations, near and far, across the entire dial with deep rich tone and room filling volume. The cabinet’s finish & restoration process. Our radio cabinets undergo a. Our goal is to maintain the natural beauty of the. Wood and grain, while providing a deep luster and shine. We achieve this by. Removing all the old and worn lacquers and stains. We then sand the cabinet. With fine grit pads down to the original bare wood. Nicks, chips, and blemishes. Are filled and/or blended. Any loose veneer is re-secured. We make sure any filler. Applied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detract from the beauty. Of the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers are applied by hand. We continue by using many coats of mohawk brand lacquers and toners applied in. The same manner as when the radio was originally finished in the factory. Use a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through a professional hvlp. Turbine spray system in a climate controlled room. We also apply very thin coats. This allows the lacquer to seep into. The grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sanding follows every third coat. Along with a polishing process and ending with an oz glaze rub. During the restoration process on this radio a few veneer repairs were made to the back edges of the cabinet as well as a thin veneer split on top. All have been filled and / or blended and as you can see, nothing that detracts from the beauty of the set. Work are put into the radios, but as you can see, the final outcome is a. Beautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster& shine. Are a great piece of history that come to you ready to proudly display, as listen to, in any room of the home or office. 17 3/4″w x 12 3/4″h x 8 1/2d. Coast, $40 central, $48 west coast.
