.jpg "Zenith 5-R-316 (1939)") |
Here's a good-looking, small table radio you don't see too often, with only a few being sold over the years on the Radio Attic. In 1939, Zenith produced a dozen radios that they advertised as, "1939 Zenith Celebrates Leadership With...Lowest Prices Ever." The country was starting to pull itself out of the recession, and with WWII looming this was just a great idea! The 5-R-316 is a five-tube, AM only radio. They also offered the 6-D-316, basically the same radio, as an AC/DC set. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. We installed a new power cord, a safety fuse, an audio input cable and a new antenna lead. Gary stripped the Walnut cabinet, and skillfully worked the wood to end up with a hard lacquer "piano" finish. Gary noted that "Zenith painted the inside of their cabinets satin dark blue. This is not. I believe this Is an Ingraham cabinet." The radio has a push button on/off switch and four buttons for preset stations. The original chassis, knobs, buttons, dial cover and speaker are with the radio. This is a collector's radio, perfect for the bed stand, kitchen, den...anywhere in the house. Even your Zenith friends might mention that they had never seen one! We have a great price on this nicely restored radio! 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 8"D. $399.00. (1600555) |
