Every now and then I get a radio that turns out like this one. This radio has phenomenal sensitivity and adjacent channel rejection. It does NOT need an external antenna for good reception.

If you do put an antenna on it, you will likely get stations 60 miles away. Its strong 35C5 output tube delivers clear audio to the speaker. This is the kind of radio that keeps me restoring these fine old gems.

All the paper wax capacitors have been replaced. All out of spec or corroded resistors have been replaced. When I replaced the single bad IF transformer the magic happened and I knew I had something special. The Selenium rectifier, has been replaced, and a new dropping resistor installed to make the voltages in specification throughout the radio. This set was then carefully aligned to factory specifications.

The glossy Bakelite cabinet is in excellent condition. It has no cracks or significant scratches. The dial pointer is bright and shiny.

The knobs and back are original. The grill cloth dye has been renewed.

7 tubes: 35c5, 19t8, 12au6, 12at7 and three 12ba6. Also included is a modern copy of Zenith's users guide.
