THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

In 1934, Zenith came out with their gorgeous and high-performing "Challenger" series of mantle radios. In 1935, they produced only three models of mantle radios, and the 825 is the most attractive. It has an American Walnut top, burled Walnut front with a Zebrawood trim strip. This seven-tube, two-band (SB,SW) plays well with lots of sensitivity across the dial. We have completely restored the electronics by replacing the wax/paper capacitors with new long-lasting caps. We checked the tubes and resistors and replaced them as needed. A safety fuse and audio cable were added and a precise alignment was done for years of listening pleasure. We have refinished the cabinet to a gleaming, hand-rubbed luster using the finest lacquer, grain filler and toners. The chassis, speaker and knobs are original to the set and they are in beautiful condition. These 1935 Zenith 825 mantle radios don't come up for sale very often and this is a first one for the Radio Attic. 16"W x 8-1/2"H x 7"D.
