_nr4.jpg "Zenith 7-S-28 (1936)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| The 7-S-28 was one of a trio of large tombstone radios that Zenith produced in the 1936 model year that shared the same multi-colored large black dial and metal bezel: the 6-S-27, 7-S-28 and the 9-S-30. On the seven-tube and nine-tube, you can select bands A-B-C, and each band has its own illumination and color. Another new feature was a two-knob, coarse/fine "split-second" tuning set-up. Many consider 1935 to 1940 to be the "glory years" of innovation and design for Zenith. The 7-S-28 is a seven-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) set and Zenith had three other "28" models including one finished in ebony. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked, replacing where needed. An audio input jack, safety fuse and new power cord were installed. Gary did a wonderful in the refinishing of the cabinet; straight grain American Walnut with Burl Walnut accent sections. With a fantastic "piano" lacquer finish, it's like looking at a brand new "factory fresh" radio! The knobs, chassis and speaker are original, and we added a reproduction grille cloth. This sensitive, strong-playing radio won't be for sale long! One of Zenith's largest and rarest tombstones! 22-1/2"H x 16-1/2"W x 14"D. |
