_nr2.jpg "Zenith 5-R-317 \"World's Fair Special\" (1939)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| The Zenith "Glass Rod" Art Deco radio was marketed as "The World's Fair Special," and introduced at the 1939 New York World's Fair. This is the five-tube version, which has a power transformer, instead of its six-tube sister 6-D-317, which is an AC/DC set with a ballast tube. This has been beautifully refinished with correct toning and clear lacquers. It has been electronically restored to like new working condition. It has the original real glass rods and gold painted wooden rods, which together with the gold grille cloth makes for a very attractive and unusual radio. The dial bezel is original, as are the pushbuttons and knobs, in fact everything about this set is about perfect! The back is an excellent new reproduction. Rather rare, it doesn't get much nicer than this, so grab it while it is still available! It would be a super addition to any collection, and would be featured in a Zenith collection! 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 8"D, shipping weight 13 pounds. |
