For sale: Gorgeous Zenith Radio Model 5S327, Racetrack. This radio has been completely restored to full functionality. You may also use it as a tube amplifier for guitar. By design, it uses high voltage for vacuum tube anodes; therefore, it should not be operated unattended for long periods of time. All vintage orange Zenith capacitors were re-stuffed with modern elements to preserve the chassis’ authentic look. Electrolytic caps were re-stuffed as well (as seen in photos). The chassis and cabinet codes match. I added photos of the chassis alone, it is very clean and looks beautiful, exactly as it was designed years ago. While working on the chassis, I tried to make my restoration work literally invisible so you would be able to appreciate the original design. I preserved the original grill cloth since it was in great condition. Overall, the radio plays great (on both the aux port and reception). The speaker is in mint original condition-no cracks, holes, or any other damage. The radio has original knobs. The cabinet veneer is original too. I refreshed its appearance with high-quality lacquer to bring it back to its original shine. Please feel free to ask questions.
Vintage 1949 Philco Transitone Model 49-500 Vacuum Tube Radio Code-121 restored. This beautiful 1949 Art Deco walnut Bakelite vacuum tube table radio comes from a non-smoking environment and has no foul odors or nicotine residue. It has undergone a thorough electronic restoration and is safe and stable to use. The restoration focused on keeping the radio as original as possible, with a strong emphasis on preserving its patina, with the exception of the tubes that were replaced and the electronic components used to restore the circuitry itself. It has an internal built-in loop antenna that that provides good strong reception, eliminating the need for an external antenna wire and plays loud and clear. The dial scale window is crystal clear with no yellowing, or discoloring at all and the speaker is loud and clear. The chassis has no rust or corrosion and the Walnut colored Bakelite case is clean and shiny. The case has some light scuffs as to be expected, but is in overall excellent condition. There are no cracks, repairs, or missing pieces from the Bakelite case and no U. The dial scale window is exceptionally clean, transparent and clear with no yellowing or opaque hazing. The speaker is in excellent condition with no rips tears or repairs and sounds loud and clear (see video). NOTE: The original back-board was missing as with most of these old radios since they’re made of cardboard. And tend to rot away, however, a new one was hand-made from laminated pressed stiffened cardboard. And was fashioned to look exactly like the original – (see pics). Check and replaced weak tubes where needed. Replace power supply circuit filter capacitors. Replace all tubular wax capacitors regardless of condition. Check and replace all out of tolerance resistors. Ultrasonically cleaned the variable tuning capacitor to restore optimal design performance. Install new polarized power cord. Install new pilot light bulb. Replaced corroded wiring. Fabricated a new custom replacement back-board. Aligned tuned circuits to Mfg. Bench tested for several hours to ensure stability and safe operation. NOTE – Power supply change – (This modification was added to ensure operational safety). The power supply circuit in this radio has been modified to eliminate the built-in shock hazard design flaw. Commonly known as the “Hot Chassis”. Most of the A/C D/C radios from this era had the “Hot Chassis” design. Flaw, which was present whether the radio was on or off. If you were to touch the chassis and at the same time. Touch a ground source such as a water pipe, there was a 50% chance that you were in for a nasty shock! This was a result of designing the circuits to run on either A/C (alternating house current), or D/C (batteries). Which was needed back then because many homes and most farms had no electrical service or wiring yet. This was a known factory hazard that was commonly accepted, however, has been CORRECTED in this radio. The trade-off for this change was to disable the ability for the radio to run on batteries. Not a great loss compared to the exponential gain in personal safety! Country: United States of America (USA). Valves / Tubes: (5) 35Z5, 35A5, 7A8, 14A7, 7C6.

(Shelf 12 T1)(going off information I could find feel free to correct me, thanks) This is a vintage used condition that is not perfect. Case is scuffed from age and use. Powered up, tuned in playing. Sounded ok for the age. I cleaned up but will need some more TLC. If needed more information or pictures please ask. Picture is the best description. Although i have a no return. If i made a mistake on the listing, please let me know. We will be gracious enough to deal with the entire situation accordingly. We are an honest establishment. We will be honest with you. We will not be difficult if you treat us fairly, just, and be honest; then we will definitely do the same with you. Thank you for your assistance.
Please note that this is 100% untested and has yet to be plugged in after sitting safely in climate controlled storage for many years – Ensuring you have the opportunity to safely bring the capacitors & tubes on a Variac to help preserve their integrity. Overall in amazing shape for its age with next to no markings or scratches on the unit. The only imperfection on the unit is in the front where a slight crack was repaired at some point in its life. The camera makes the contrast appear more visible than it does in person in regards to this blemish. A beautiful piece of history that is ready for a new loving home.
Fresh from a local estate, this is a vintage Zenith Model 6-S-229 tombstone tube radio that is in working condition. I did not get any reception on the shortwave bands as they are very difficult to receive in my area. For a video of the unit playing, see the attached link that I have provided. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator functions properly as well. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax and presents well. The most wear is on the top of the radio. The speaker grill is in poor condition. The power cord is in excellent condition, still flexible. Great looking, desireable Zenith radio that will be a fine addition to your collection. Do not hesitate to make an offer all will be considered.
