Considered by many to be the king of the suitcase radios, the Zenith Transoceanic is a masterwork of radio engineering. It has seven bands of broadcast and short wave. There is an internal antenna for broadcast, a separate broadcast antenna to improve performance in vehicles, and a massive telescoping antenna for short wave. There are also screw terminals for a longwire external antenna. This one is in pretty nice condition. There is a little deterioration of the canvas cover, but it is not objectionable to my eye. A little unfortunate solvent splatter on the dial, also not too bad. The knobs are not original but match the set very nicely. A thorough chassis restoration produced a decent player on broadcast. On some of the short wave bands the dial cal is not perfect. The sound is very good from the perfect speaker. Many have sold on the Attic topping out at $269. This one has a few shortcomings, and I'm pricing it accordingly, but it is still a pretty nice example of this model. More photos available on request. 17"W x 12"H x 8"D.  $170.00. (1680171)
