(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

This pint sized little 5-S-228 tombstone sold well for Zenith in 1938, despite what, in my opinion are kind of odd proportions. That said, they put some really attractive veneer on the front and top of the cabinet, making a very good looking radio. It is fitted with a very good performing five-tube chassis sporting broadcast and the "real" shortwave band. I gave it a very slick finish with 15 coats of lacquer and two sanding operations. Still has a few dings and specks, but overall is gorgeous. My usual very meticulous chassis restoration with all high testing tubes for long service life. If you buy this radio, you will have one of the nicest examples around. Requires an external antenna. 16"H x 10-1/2"W x 10"D.  $399.00. (1680120)
