THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Joe's Radio Shop is proud to present some of the finest in vintage radio collecting. There were three varieties of "Chrome Front" radios offered by Zenith in 1934 for the 1935 model line: the 809, 829 and the 835. This beautiful six-tube, three-band (SB, police, SW) midsize tombstone was the entry level "800" series, featuring an RF tuning stage for greater sensitivity. The wax/paper capacitors have been replaced with the new Mylar caps of equal values, the tubes and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. A new power cord, audio input cable and safety fuse were added, as was a precision alignment. Gary stripped and refinished the cabinet; the rich, burled walnut just glows and he finished the radio with a "piano" lacquer finish. The chrome was re-plated, and the radio retains the original knobs and correct speaker. The grille cloth is a reproduction of the original. This radio has great tone and plenty of volume. A beautiful example of one of Zenith's most collectable sets. 16-1/2"H x 12"W x 7-1/2"D.
