Vintage Zenith 1952 Model L522W AM Tube Clock Radio Bakelite White Telechron
vintage
Comments Off
Gorgeous, classic mid-century design by one-time leading brand Zenith. Model appears to be L5222W from 1952 production, but original stamp is somewhat unclear. Cabinet is all original factory-molded Bakelite and factory painted in vanilla cream. Not repainted, no over spray, no touchup – none needed. All original factory metal film trim pieces and the knobs are in excellent condition, no rub off or peeling. This model has a Bakelite rear cover painted in matching vanilla – not cardboard as in earlier models. Product information and instruction label is attached to bottom of cabinet, with creases and tears around the edges from age. Electronics and Telechron clock are working well and quietly with no issues, but radio doesn’t seem to be turning on or tuning – may just need replacement tube(s). Cabinet and knobs are in excellent vintage condition: no cracks or breaks in cabinet; there are several small chips and scratches in paint, some marks and age-related wear, oxidation of metal parts and screws; clear plastic dial covers are undamaged but have some minor smudges; clock face is slightly rotated – this appears to be from original production. Knobs and dials are securely attached and operational. See photos for details of condition. Radio was gently used then stored in a dry, cool environment for a long period of time in a no-smoking, no-perfume, no-pet environment. Measures approximately 13″ x 6″ x 6 and weighs 5 lbs 10 oz.
