The early commercial development of radio was pioneered by the Westinghouse Corporation. The founder, George Westinghouse, was adept at acquiring patents and developing products based upon those patents. He acquired from the inventor Nicola Tesla the patents for the alternating current (AC) electrical motor/generator and from Edwin Armstrong the patents for the circuitry of the early radios. Westinghouse also established the first commercial radio broadcasting station, KDKA, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1920. KDKA is now the oldest surviving licensed commercial radio station in the United States. Westinghouse was one of the founding owners of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in 1919, and in 1926 RCA went onto establish the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), a group of 24 radio stations that made up the first radio network in the United States. Westinghouse went on to become a prolific radio station owner and a big player in television – they later branched into many different areas including consumer electronics, lighting, and home appliances!

Both models are sometimes called the “Darth Vader” radio, given its front mask like appearance. This was one of Zeniths last models before gearing up for war time production as America prepared for WW2. It is powered by 6 tubes. Hum and controls operate as designed with no slipping. The coolest feature of this antique classic – is the sound quality can be adjusted dynamically several different ways by using the 4 tone push button controls on either side of the dial – the controls work – a unique feature for a table radio in its day. I was also able to pull in many stations very well without a wire antenna but a clip on wire would probably make the reception even better. The detail on the cabinet is stunning and the burled wood very distinctive. Zenith was known for their elaborate cases during this era and with the attention to detail on the wood work of this one – it’s a perfect example! Now, please see the VIDEO DEMO below and hear this radio playing! From listening to the VIDEO DEMO , you can see that this radio sounds superb and it brings in stations up and down the dial loud and clear!

This radio has been restored electronically. All tubes were tested and any weak ones replaced, capacitors were replaced as needed, the controls were cleaned and lubricated, an alignment was performed. The case was stripped and re-stained using high quality products. The cabinet is in very good condition – it has a nice finish and looks amazing – as with any radio almost 75 years old – there are going to be blemishes and imperfections on the top, sides, back, bottom, and front – but nothing that detracts from the overall look of the radio. There are a couple very minor veneer imperfections, most notably one on the top edge of the front – but not significant. The plug is likely not original. The original back is no longer present – quite common – but one can be obtained from a supplier called Retro Tronics. The knobs look like reproductions – too perfect to be original – if they are original – they’re the best ones I have ever seen on this model. At Zenith – The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On! As they said – and this particular example is evidence of that mantra. Made in the USA by ZENITH – these models are not often found in restored working condition and with such a nice restored finish – and even less common with any kind of electronic servicing. Don’t let this opportunity slip by! Dimensions are 16″ in length X 8 high X 7″ in depth. I use plenty of Bubble Wrap, extra padding – and double box or use extra box support material. It will be marked “Fragile” &’This side up on the box to make sure it is handled carefully. The radio is fully insured. If there are any problems, please contact me and we can review options.

Prior to 1920, most Americans couldn’t even fathom the idea of voices and music coming into their homes over the air. But the availability of free over-the-air music and information fueled tremendous growth with sales of in-home radio sets growing from 5,000 units in 1920 to more than 2.5 million units in 1924. At first, the RCA brand was applied to radio receivers manufactured by Westinghouse and General Electric. RCA saw the potential for a nationwide network, and in 1926 the first national radio network – dubbed the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) – was created. Radio’s popularity in the U. Today, the RCA brand is still found on a variety of entertainment and information products marketed in countries throughout the world.

Sounds amazing for an 80 year old radio built during the Roosevelt Administration! It pulls in stations loud and clear with no hum. Volume control is smooth with no scratch or pop noises. The dial light works and lights the stations in a dark room or light room for that matter. The dial needle moves in sync with the tuning knob as designed and it is in good condition. There is only very minor wear on the case, barely visible in normal light, but given the age you will find minor imperfections and blemishes on the front, sides, back, top, and bottom of the radio. There is no back on the radio – they were made of wood, and it’s very hard to find them intact. The cabinet is really beautiful on this one. The Ingraham Emerson models are not common in this kind of condition cosmetically and certainly rarely found in restored electronic condition. We checked the online value site, Worth point, and found most of these models nowhere near the condition of our example. This radio is one of those rare opportunities collectors should take advantage of and it would look good with any home décor, or in your office, and would also make a unique gift! A conversation piece and a statement piece. Crosley radios are legendary – now you can own a beautiful functioning piece of art from yesteryear. Dimension: 12″ in length X 9″ high X 7 in depth.
