Here for your consideration is a Beautiful, Museum Quality Machine Age 1942 Zenith 6D2620 Walnut Wood Boomerang Dial Tube Radio in good working condition. While searching the Net, I found 3 different Designers this cabinet was attributed to. Robert Davol Budlong who did other Zenith cabinets like the transistorized Transoceanics. Charles and Ray Eames who did many wood furniture designs and several bent wood radio cabinets for EMERSON. Jack De Young, who actually holds the Patent on this cabinet. This larger 14" x 7.5" x 9 set is truly striking to look at! Arch Top Cabinet has been exceptionally refinished. It will get more stations with an added antenna wire. Dial glows warmly at night.There is a Hi-Low Tone switch on the back of the set for your pleasure. Knob must be reproductions, as I've never seen an original that didn't "shrink square".
It could use a very light cleaning. I'll leave that up to you. It's not that I'm lazy, but most people like them showing some age, and those who like them looking almost new usually enjoy cleaning them to the level they prefer.
This is truly an eye-catching midcentury modern set that will fit anywhere. Remember to check out the other BIN Items on RADIOORPHANAGE JIVE and my weekly auctions too. You will not be disappointed!

There is something here for any vintage electronics collector or nostalgia buff. My current feedback is 100.00% with over 7000 feedbacks. I was the President of the New England Antique Radio Club and then the New England Vintage Electronics Club for six years. I stepped down at the end of 2018 to concentrate on finding new owners for the Vintage Electronics my son is not interested in. 3 I value you as a customer, and more importantly, a returning customer. 4 I have no interest in taking advantage of anyone, and I have no need to. 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.
6 YOU & US: Note that the majority of what we sell is antique, vintage, and/or collectable electronics. We see you as a valued customer, and want you to be happy. If you are not happy, for any reason, let us know and we'll try to make it right.
