This is an early 1950′s Philco tabletop radio, model 53-960, circa 1953. The radio is quite large with a 10″ speaker, measuring 22.5″ wide, 16″ high, and 12.5″ deep. It also has a built in antenna that extends 53 inches. It weighs in atalmost 35 1bs. 25M, 19M, 16M and 13M. It has several scratches and some knicks to the mahogany wood. The backing is missing. The antenna is in fine shape and extends over 4 feet tall. It is very heavy at nearly 34 lbs. The plug in has been repaired and rigged with 2 different wires but it does work when plugged in. I have listened to different stations on it, I have also picked up faint (fuzzy sounding) signals from stations out of other countries overseas. The radio could definitely use a tune up/cleaning and perhaps replacement of the bulbs along the back side. It will definitely be a beautiful and unique piece once restored and in the hands of a knowledgeable person.

Great piece of ZENITH history… But very nice vintage condition. When I bought it recently, it had a musty basement odor which has pretty much gone away with the help of GONZO. It has a pleasant scent now. (maybe a hint of mustiness). Works really well after warming up. In the evening, quite a few more come on. Heard a foreign language channel last night. I don’t understand how the side buttons work so I can’t verify anything about them. Antenna extends about 32.
