Zenith 10-S-452 (1940)
(wood chairside radio w/SW)

Zenith 10-S-452 (1940)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

In my opinion, the Zenith 10S452 is one of the best chairside radios ever made, and this one is one of the very best you are going to find. This is a very nice radio, with broadcast and two short wave bands. It has the classic Zenith black dial sided by the also classic Zenith Organ style controls for tone and station presets. A tuning eye tube for precise tuning, and a flywheel tuning shaft for fast transitions from station to station. The 6V6 push-pull outputs punch some amazing, deep, rich bass from the perfect 10-inch speaker. Not many radios sound as good as this one. The built in Zenith wavemagnet antenna does a surprisingly good job on both broadcast and shortwave. The cabinet is in excellent condition, with a very few small dings, and still fronted by the original grille cloth. I gave it a very nice, slick finish, with proper attention to the details of the trim. I even finished the back in case you don't want to put it by your chair. My usual very thorough chassis restoration. The volume knob is a reproduction. One of the Organ switches is chipped on one corner. All in all, as chairsides go, this one is as good as it gets. two of these have sold on the attic topping out at $890 in 2011. It is large and heavy, so shipping and insurance will be a consideration. 29"H x 21"W x 16"D.
