Zenith 6-S-223 (1937)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

Zenith 6-S-223 (1937)

There's a reason Zenith sets of this era sold so well back then and are still desirable today. Beautiful design and functionality come together in another winner from the end of the radio alphabet. AM plus two SW bands. Six tubes. Dial lights up nicely. This set has been recapped, aligned, lubricated, new cord, all tubes tested and had an aux input added so you can play anything you want through it. The finish is the only small issue with this set. To my eye, it looks like someone coated over the original finish with more lacquer. It displays well from any distance, but when you get close you can see some "roughness" underneath. It's hard to notice in the photos, and equally hard to notice in person except on close inspection. If I were keeping it, I would keep the finish as-is because it still looks very good, but it's up to the new owner if they would like to try to flow the finish to smooth it a bit or strip and re-do the whole thing. There is also some rubbing and finish loss on the "shoulders" that is fairly minor. Overall, a good-looking and playing example of this iconic set. 19-1/2"W x 11-1'2"H x almost 10"D. As with all my radios, this will be well-packed in industrial-grade packing materials and placed in a correctly-sized box. Please contact me if you have any more questions!  $595.00. (1560070)
