Zenith 809
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Zenith 809

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

The Zenith 809 was the smallest of the three "Chrome Front" radios. These gorgeous radios are getting near impossible to find. This one was advertised on Craig's List, and when I went to check it out, he had the other two as well! I must have caught him at the right time, cause I ended up with all three. On the drive home, I thought I was going to have a heart attack! The 809 is at two-band (SB,SW,Police) six-tube set, and is the epitome of Art Deco design. Blake replaced all of the capacitors, checked tubes and resistors, replacing where needed. I installed a new cloth power cord and an audio cable for your external device. The radio sounds great, and picks up plenty of stations across the dial. Gary stripped and refinished the cabinet; the rich, burled walnut just glows! He finished the radio with a "piano" lacquer finish. The chrome was re-plated, and the radio retains the original knobs and correct speaker. I never thought that we would have an 809 and an 829 on our site at the same time. A couple of beautiful examples of some of Zenith's most collectable sets. Shipping is included in the price. 16-1/2"H x 12"W x 7-1/2"D.
