.jpg "Zenith 715 Tombstone (1933)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| As the 1930's progressed, radio cabinet design went away from the Gothic cathedral style to the tombstone. Early tombstones would have touches of cathedral design. With a rounded arch at the top and ornate grilles along with the straight, majestic "skyscraper" influence, this radio has it all. The 715 is an eight-tube, standard broadcast only radio. The receiver is one of the best made in 1933. It picked up stations just sitting on my bench with no antenna . Standing 20 inches tall with an 8-nch speaker, this radio is impressive in stature and performance with volume to spare. Blake did a great job replacing all of the capacitors. He checked resistors and tubes, replacing where necessary. He installed a period correct cloth power cord, and audio cable and a safety fuse. He carefully aligned the radio for peak performance. What can I say that hasn't already been said? Gary knocked it out of the park with a stellar refinish. The butt walnut front accentuated with the maple top strip and inlay along the pilasters. I love the fact that he used a satin finish at the end. This rare, perfect Zenith can be yours! They ain't makin' 'em anymore folks! 20"H x 16"W x 9-1/2"D. |
