Zenith Model 5-S-319 Table Radio (1939). The 5-S-319 (5S319) is one of Zenith’s “race-track dial” compact table radios introduced in the summer of 1938 for the 1939 model year. It features all-wave coverage plus Transcontinental Automatic Tip-Touch push-button tuning, a Zenith innovation new to the 1939 model year. This Zenith 5-S-319 “Racetrack Dial” was introduced in the summer of 1938 for the 1939 model year. This model, and the model 5-R-317 “World’s Fair” glass Rod radio, are two of the most unique and desirable Zenith radios among collectors. It has a five-tube chassis that performs much like a radio with a higher tube count due to Zenith’s superior engineering. The dial lamp works fine. The knobs, pointer, and push buttons are all original The walnut case is also in nice un-restored original condition. These sets are incredibly difficult to refinish as you almost always destroy the faux zebra stripe on the top and right front of the case. There are a few nicks and minor scratches, but for an 80 year old radio, I would say it’s in good original condition. A very compact table radio at 13″W x 9″H x 8D. The radio plugs in and starts up with a hum. Knobs and buttons seem to work fine. Needs work and restoration.

This radio has the oval “racetrack” dial and is highly sought after. The functions of the 4 round knobs from left to right are On/Off/Volume, Tone (2 positions), Tuning, and Function. The radio has 5 pushbuttons on the lower part of the brass escutcheon. The Function knob on the far right selects either Shortwave, Standard Broadcast, or Automatic that activates the station presets. I had to pull out very slightly on the tuning knob to tune the radio smoothly (otherwise it would sometimes catch before moving again). Please look at all of the pictures for more detail.
