Zenith was known for their quality and here’s a post war model that. With 8 tubes from 1946. Has been polished with my 4 step process that brings out the original. There is a small hairline crack on the rear of the top right. Edge that i repaired. I took a photo of it but it is hard to see. The deep marbled bakelite cabinet and large. Dial with dual lights give it an outstanding look. Check out the photos! Broadcast band and fm band with that warm, soft “tube sound” that zenith is. This radio was designed with both fm bands that were available at. Only the current fm band is used now. Standard loop antenna which is attached to the back of the radio.
