Beautiful Working 1930s Zenith Bakelite Tube Radio

Beautiful Working 1930S Zenith Bakelite Tube Radio

Beautiful, working, 1930's zenith bakelite radio. Zenith made some of the nicest wood sets of the late 1930's, but they made equalyl attractrive and progressively designed bakelite sets- some like this, iconic to the deco era. This is a model 6d-311 and dates ot 1939. Excellent luster, a gorgeous, marbled dark chocholate brown bakelite, sbutly swirled in lighter and darker shades. No cracks or chips in the cabinet, photo shows reflections of the backdrop blanket, me, and my camera, there is no marring. Great deco styling, there isn't a straight line on the set anywhere. Impeccibly clean, inside and out, it will pass the white glove test- a final detail cleaning si accomplished with q-tips.

Unit has hte original knobs and dial lens. hTe cardboard back is a professionally made reproduction of the original. Plays loudly, clearly with ogod tone, no hum. Has good, safe, power cord and working dial light. The radio measures 10 inches long, 7 high, 6 1/2 deep.

As with all my radios, the luster and sheen on the bakelite is natural, exhibiting the original characteristics of the bakeliet when newly made. No coatings (permanent or temporary), sprays, or oils are used to glam it up. All radios sold have had preventative electrical maintainence, so that they perform as well in the foreseeable future. As they do when you first get them. I stand behind teh components i've repaired, parts and labor- for 90 days.

After that- free labor for 6 months. Why would you bother with someone who says they've restored the radio and then tell you you are buying as is- and why would someone's warrantee be worth anything if you can't find them again on ebay? The insides of my radois are given the same attention as the outsides. Celebrating ten years on ebay- selling beautiful, working radios on ebya continuously, since 1998. Each radio is packed in a wya to guarantee that you won't be filing an insurance claim.
