The radio must have been hooked up to a battery, the cord is all cracked up mostly the brown cord. Didn’t feel any holes in the speaker cone. The top had the previous owner set things on it so the finish has that sign, see pictures. The dial needle doesn’t turn with the know. No cracks in the glass. Cabinet doesn’t appear to have any damage except cosmetic in the finish, see photos for the small scattered areas.

Vintage 1938 Zenith Model 6-J-230 Tombstone Style Radio Wood Case. The model 6-J-230 dates from 1938 and is typical of many radios of that era. Using six tubes, it covers the standard broadcast band and shortwave frequencies from 5.6 to 18 megahertz. The cabinet is simple but elegant, with a six-inch circular dial echoed by a circular design in the upper speaker grille. The front and sides of the cabinet appears to be covered with finely grained veneer. Measures approximately 17 1/2″ tall x 13 1/2″ wide x 10 1/2 deep. This is vintage and pre-owned; Estate found. There is wear/tear and weathering/discoloration throughout that is consistent with its near antique age. Some slight wear in the speaker mesh, but no rips or tears as far as we can see. Has original Zenith branded knobs. Totally UNTESTED; The power cable looks like it will need replacing, so we did not want to risk damaging the radio by plugging it in.
