THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! A ONE-DAY WONDER!

I've written about Zenith changing over from large tombstone and "Walton" type radios to a different look and approach at the end of the 1930's into the 1940's. The 5-S-319 for the 1939 model year resembled their "cube" design, but certainly looked like a small version of the 1940 style table radio. The curved side-speaker grille and a more "rounded" design was a sign of things to come. The oval iconic "Racetrack" dial bezel is still very collectable. The 5-S-319 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The tubes and resistors were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, audio input cable and safety fuse were installed. The radio plays great, and the audio input cable works quite well. Gary stripped, grain-filled, and painted the radio and finished with a "piano" lacquer finish. The radio has the original knobs, push buttons, speaker, chassis and the original Zenith grille cloth. Here is a perfect example of the desirable "Racetrack" Zenith radio! 13"W x 9"H x 7-1/2"D.
