THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
The year 1939 produced some of the most outstanding radio designs, but none better than this Zenith tabletop set, which is an icon of the Art Deco period. It was designed by Robert Budlong, one of Zenith's most prolific radio engineers of the 1930's. This beautiful Bakelite set, with its streamline shape, originally sold for $14.95. The case is in excellent condition, with no cosmetic issues. The chassis was checked completely by a pro, and the radio is playing clearly, picking up all my local AM stations. The dial lamp works well, really lighting up its beautiful Deco dial. It also has a perfect original back on the set which is almost always missing. This model was a movie star! It appeared with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in "Strike Up the Band" (1940), and also Rooney and Freddie Bartholomew again in "A Yank at Eton" (1942). Now who wouldn't want to own a radio that appeared with all these great movie stars! About 10-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 7"D. |
