Zenith 8-S-137 "Zephyr" Tombstone (1937)
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Zenith 8-S-137 "Zephyr" Tombstone (1937)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

You are looking at the second rarest of the Zenith tombstones! This is the eight-tube version with a workhorse super-het chassis plus targeted tuning (which is working) that plays on both AM and Shortwave. Clearly one of the most distinctive radios ever created, this model is especially rare. I have seen only two other in my 45 years of radio addiction. The scale of this radio is massive with the horizontal ribbing skirting the cabinet made out of striped Mahogany. The cabinet has been refinished by the collector that I acquired it from in a hand rubbed lacquer finish and the radio has original speaker cloth and the iconic embossed "Z" wood knobs. My tech has completed his professional repairs to the chassis and true to Zenith radios, it plays as well as any radio you might own. He has added a mini-jack to the circuit, allowing you to input any modern device or stream Bluetooth from the free Bluetooth receiver. This radio is huge and plays like a beast! A real investment grade addition to your collection! Free Bluetooth! 23"H x 18-1/4"W x 14"D.
