Here's a very nice, Pre-War, highly collectible large Gold dial Zenith with Art Deco flair. It is mostly original including the original faux burl finish. The top and surround of the burl appear to have been refinished at some point, but well done. It is known as The "Stars and Stripes" for obvious reasons. Note the raised embossed stars and stripes on the original brass escutcheon, which also maintains its original patina. This patriotic design was common amongst company's products just prior to the United States' entry into WWII. All knobs, pushbuttons, speaker, dial, etc. are original. The grille cloth has been replaced with correct Zenith cloth, housed in a cool wraparound grille. The dial is lit with two pilots and looks beautiful in low light conditions. There are two factory tags still in place on bottom of cabinet plus model # stamps on both cabinet & chassis. This radio also featured flywheel tuning. Also Tone Control works well as designed. The radio has been electronically restored and works great, having been electronically restored within the last year. Nice condition and it plays strong on attached short antenna. Simply a beautiful Zenith. 18"W x 11-1/2"H x 9"D. $549.00. (1640274)
