THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
The Zenith 908 is a very rare radio, this gorgeous example being only the second one we have had for sale in years! 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. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes have been checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, audio input cable and a safety fuse. It has excellent sensitivity across the dial with plenty of volume through the 8-inch 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"), reproduction grille cloth, chassis, dial scale 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. |
