Zenith 5-S-127 (1937)
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Zenith 5-S-127 (1937)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Here we have a lovely big lighted (multi-colored) black dial Zenith from 1937. This was a banner year for the Zenith Corporation. The Art Deco style is truly a beautiful radio. This 5S127 Tombstone is a keeper! The waterfall front and the ribbed side moldings truly highlight the craftsmanship of the era. Most collectors love the big black backlit dial with the white "Z" airplane style pointer and red split-second pointer. The Zenith slogan "The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On" truly applies here. Fresh restore... The radio is recapped, resistors are all checked and out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The tubes are all checked and good. This is a three-band BC+2SW radio. The cabinet has been nicely refinished. Great walnut veneers with book-matched grained top/front. Original grille cloth, speaker, dial, & "Z" knobs. It is a solid playing radio picking up all my locals & beyond with short wire antenna supplied. 19"H x 13-1/4"W x 9"D.
