By the end of 2025. These are the BEST of my 50+ years of collecting! Museum Quality 1942 Mottled Umber Brown Bakelite. PRIVATE STOCK FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION!!Here for your consideration is a Museum Quality. Deco 1942 Mottled Umber Brown Bakelite ZENITH 5D611 that looks like it just came out of the box! It looks and plays like it is brand NEW!
It is in excellent physical and working condition. This 12" x 6.5" x 7.5 five tube set is just awesome to look at with its perfect brown bakelite case, large grille bars, brightly lit gold dial, matching tortoise knobs, perfect information on bottom of cabinet, and excellent rear cover over the internal antenna. Probably the most interesting thing about this set to me is that Zenith did not use their "Z" knobs on this set! Dial lights nicely for night viewing and listening.
I don't see any service history with it, but i. There is a place on the back to add additional antenna wire if you'd like.
This would be a great DXer! Remember to check out the other BIN Items on RADIOORPHANAGE JIVE and my weekly auctions too. You will not be disappointed!

If you don't understand how to put an antenna on an old tube radio, or how to connect speakers to a Vintage Amplifier, join a local Antique Radio or Vintage Electronics Club. If you don't know where your closest club is, let me know, and I'll tell you.ASK QUESTIONS about anything you don't understand. I want you to be happy. We take extra care in packaging, Bubble wrap, foam pellets, proper boxes, etc. (NOT the wadded up newspaper trick) There is a cost for doing this right. Let's face it, once it's broke, it's broke.
