Hard to find Silvertone Model 1708 World’s Fair Tombstone Radio that is in good working condition. The finish on the radio is all original and has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax. The veneer on the bottom right and left sides are separating from the body, but this can easily be addressed with some glue. From a distance the defect is not noticeable. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly and the dial indicator functions properly as well. The grill cloth is in excellent condition and the cloth power cord is also in exceptional condition. Very desireable radio that has great Art Deco lines. The metal inlay makes this radio stand out. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.

His highly desirable Zenith does power on and it receives stations. The sound quality is good but it could definitely benefit from being electronically serviced. The automatic tuning appears to work but it is very finicky. The electronics are for the most part original except for the electrolytics and the power cord, they seem to have been replaced a long time ago. The chassis is nice and unmanaged. The cabinet’s cosmetics are good with no real damage to mention, just honest wear and patina. The cabinet is solid and there is no damage to the veneer. The finish does show some wear and blemishes, but it is nothing disappointing. The 12 unique glass rods are a fantastic design element that is not found on any other radio. This Zenith may be far from being in collector quality condition, but it is a working survivor that does display well. If you have any questions or need additional pictures, please ask.

Antique 1938/1939 Zenith 5R317 tube radio in excellent working and looking condition. Electrically restored and cabinet is refinished. Very clean example and is a model sought after by collectors. Plays well, receiving several stations with no hum or scratchy volume. Manual tuner works fine with an illuminated dial but didnt try the auto-tune. Escutcheon has a couple of scuffs on it. Wood cabinet is beautiful with apparently all original glass rods, push-buttons and knobs. Chassis & components look original including the speaker. This is the 5 tube version, looking identical to the 6D317 model. Missing is the back panel and repros are available if desired. This is how I acquired the set and have no information on its history, electrical parts replaced or who did the work. Ive photographed the underside so you can examine it yourself. Not a radio expert, please review all photos as they are part of the description. It will be double boxed and fully insured with signature needed. A rare, beautiful and unique display radio for your collection that is more importantly plug & play. Zenith’s model 5-R-317 Glass Rod radios were marketed as “The World’s Fair Special” for the 1939 model year to coincide with The New York Worlds Fair. Also illustrated in a scene from the 1942 movie Woman of the Year, example seen below. These are automatically added to the final invoice and I’m not able to delete or adjust them. Also, recently Fed Ex and the other carriers have dramatically increased costs when factoring even a small amount of dimensional weight (size of the box). The item “ZENITH 5R317 ART DECO Glass Rod Vintage 1939 World’s Fair Tube RADIO RESTORED” is in sale since Friday, November 29, 2019. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “*atomicmojo*” and is located in San Francisco, California.

The radio does power on when plugged in and turned on. I did not hear a hum or any static. It was not hooked up to an antenna. He backlit dial light works! The wood cabinet is nice and solid and the finish looks really nice. There are some minor imperfections like you might expect on a piece from this era. The tuning dial works well and the on/off/volume dial/switch functions nicely as well. As you can see from the pictures, the chassis looks clean but the radio has been in storage for many years so I’m sure that it could use a good/thorough cleaning. I do not have the proper equipment to test this piece any further. Please be sure to preview all of the pictures so that you can determine the condition for yourself.
