.jpg "Zenith 908 Tombstone (1935)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| The Zenith 908 is a very rare radio. To be honest, I wasn't even aware of them till this one popped up. Manufactured late in 1934 for the 1935 model year, it didn't even make an appearance till February of 1935. Slow sales doomed it for a very short run, and Zenith halted production shortly after its debut. The 908 is a six-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. The 1935 radios were great playing sets. The 809, 829 and 835 chrome fronts were a huge success for Zenith, also contributing to the slow sales of the 908. The radio has had all of the capacitors replaced with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes have been checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, audio cable and aligned the radio. It has excellent sensitivity across the dial with plenty of volume through the 8" speaker. Gary meticulously refinished the walnut cabinet with gorgeous burl walnut veneer on the front. He applied several coats of lacquer and hand-polished to a "piano" finish. The radio has the correct knobs (without the "Z"), original grille cloth and speaker. If you would like a rare Zenith for your collection that no one else has, then this is your radio! 18"H x 14-1/2"W x 9-1/2"D. |
