THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

The smallest of the six models equipped with the 5516 chassis, the 5S127 was also one of the most popular. Roughly 50 of these have sold on the Attic, and the reason is clear. This is a real eye catcher, with very nice wood, striking black trim, the classy fluted top corners and the classic Zenith easy to read black dial. I gave this a fabulous, slick, piano finish with 16 coats of lacquer and two sanding operations. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer cabinet at any price. I gave it my usual top notch chassis restoration, with all high testing glass tubes for long service life. A few minor dings, as all of these octogenarians have. Two very small, professionally done speaker repairs on the very good sounding speaker. The dial cal is very accurate, one of the best I have seen. Receiver performance is very good for a five-tuber. The chassis is not the best, but didn't warrant painting in my opinion. This is a truly exceptional version of this popular model. If you didn't get one of the first 50, this one will be worth the wait. Requires an external antenna. 19"H x 13-1/4"W x 9"D.
