THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

In 1937, the 5-R-135 was an entry level radio from Zenith costing less than $30. Most of the companies manufacturing radios offered a lower priced model due to the recession. Even at $30, this was still a high price for many people, but allowed a working family to have a unique, nice performing Zenith radio in their home. This five-tube, two-band (SB, police) is a good performer with lots of sensitivity across the dial. Blake replaced all of the capacitors; resistors and tubes checked and replaced where needed. He installed his new Bluetooth input and switch, which allows the user to turn off the radio to access the Bluetooth input. This radio plays great with lots of volume, utilizing an 8-inch speaker. Gary did a fantastic job stripping the Walnut veneer, bringing it back to a "piano" factory lacquer finish. The radio has it's original knobs, chassis and speaker. We added a new reproduction grille cloth and a Mark Palmquist crystal clear dial cover. Priced right for a really nice addition to your collection. 16-1/2"H x 12"W x 7"D.
