.jpg "Zenith 807 (1935)") |
 The Zenith "800 series" model line for 1935 featured the small, white "airplane dial" which was replaced in 1936 with the infamous "big black dial" radios which were a huge hit for Zenith. Since the 1935 dial style was a "one-off" for the company, these sets are highly collectable, with models 809, 829 and 835 featuring chrome grilles being the most valuable and hard to find. The 807 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) set. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, new power cord, audio input cable and antenna lead. The 1935 radios were highly touted as good receivers, showing off some of the new circuitry that Zenith developed that year, especially their shortwave reception quality. The cabinets showed off some new veneer applications as well. Gary stripped the cabinet and skillfully refinished it, ending up with a stunning hand-polished "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, chassis and speaker are original, and a period correct grille cloth was installed. This is the first 807 we have done, and it looks and performs like new! 18"H x 12"W x 9"D. $649.00.
