1940 ZENITH 12S-568 ANTIQUE VINTAGE CONSOLE TUBE RADIO SHUTTER DIAL! WORKS

HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WELL PRESERVED EXAMPLE OF A HIGH TUBE COUNT ZENITH CONSOLE RADIO. THE 12S-568 IS A HIGHLY ART DECO MODEL WITH THE ELEGANT STEP DOWN SHOULDERS, WATER FALL CENTER WITH ART DECO PHOTOFINISH ON THE UPPER AND LOWER ENDS OF THE CABINET AND IN THE CENTER PIECES OF THE SPEAKER GRILL. AND OF COURSE THE LARGE BIG BLACK ZENITH DIAL WITH THE SHUTTER DIAL WHERE WHEN CHANGING BANDS THE ENTIRE DIAL SCALE SLIDES OUT OF THE WAY TO SHOW EACH SHORTWAVE BAND. A TRULY SOUGHT AFTER DIAL IN ITSELF.

THE 12S-568 COMES WITH A SUPERIOR SOUNDING 12 TUBE CHASSIS WITH ZENITH'S FAMOUS AND WORKING TONE ORGAN SO YOU CAN SELECT YOUR BASS, TREBLE, VOICE ECT. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEATURES THAT MADE ZENITH SO POPULAR FOR THEIR GREAT SOUNDING RADIOS AND DON'T FORGET THE LARGE 14 SPEAKER WHICH WILL INDEED RATTLE YOUR WINDOWS IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. THE VENEER IS TIGHT AND SOLID WITH A WONDERFUL WARM FINISH WITH SOME LIGHT SCUFFS ON THE BASE AND THE PHOTO FINISH IS CLOSE TO PERFECT WITH A SMALL PIECE MISSING ON THE LOWER FRONT CORNER AND A SMALL SPOT ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE AND THE CENTER GRILL BARS ARE PERFECT. THE ONLY INDENT OR CHIP YOU WILL FIND IS ON THE FRONT CENTER HARDWOOD BETWEEN THE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE GRILL AREA.

THE CHASSIS IS RUST FREE AND THE SPEAKER CONE LOOKS TO BE EXCELLENT. I TESTED ALL AND REPLACED ONE TUBE, REPLACED THE RUBBER DIAL ROPE AND INSTALLED A NEW POWER CORD. YOU WILL SEE THAT THE WAVE MAGNET ANTENNA IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS RADIO PLAYS STRONG AND CLEAR WITH PERFECT CLARITY AND THE SHUTTER DIAL SWITCHES NICE AND EASY AS IT SHOULD. YOU WILL NOTICE A SMALL WHITE AREA ON THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE DIAL SCALE AND THE REST IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS IS THE FIRST COMPLETELY STOCK PLAYING CHASSIS THAT I HAVE HAD IN MANY YEARS HENCE THE AS IS.

I WILL ALSO ENTERTAIN BUT IT NOW OFFERS IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS RADIO. A BEAUTIFUL AND EXCELLENT WORKING ART DECO ZENITH CONSOLE RADIO FOR YOUR HOME. The item "1940 ZENITH 12S-568 ANTIQUE VINTAGE CONSOLE TUBE RADIO SHUTTER DIAL!
