My first impression of this nifty Zenith 7-S-633 is that some guy in the sales department looked at the perfectly nice cabinet and said "it isn't fancy enough" so they slapped on a couple of blocks of wood and a couple of patches of photo finish, all of which look out of place to me. That said, I had my friend Tyson Photoshop some fairly good photo finish reproductions and put them on there. The seven-tube chassis is a good performer, and has console-ish features like the five Zenith tone buttons, five station presets, an internal wavemagnet antenna and a very good sounding 6-inch speaker fronted by the original grille cloth. Screws for more distant stations. My usual very thorough chassis restoration, fitted with all high testing tubes for long service life. I gave it a nice, slick semi-gloss finish. A couple of dark spots I couldn't remove from the top veneer. The huge, easy to read dial has the usual alligator cracks, but is serviceable. The back cover was missing so I had to make one. Small left knob not original. The plated steel escutcheon was rusty so I had to paint it. All that said, this is a very nice radio with attractive veneer and lots of features. I think it will look great in any home, and I hope you will too! $599.00. (1680144) |
