I LOVE THIS 70 YEAR OLD ZENITH SHORT WAVE RADIO... THEY DO NOT COME MUCH NICER THAN THIS ONE. CLEAR AND CRISP WITH THE ANTENNA ALL OF THE WAY DOWN... I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO HOOK UP THE MAGNET TO TUNE INTO THE TRANS-OCEANIC SHORTWAVE, SOME SHORTWAVE COMES IN WITHOUT IT.. THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE...
ZENITH IS THE CADILLAC OF RADIOS FROM THAT TIME.... THEY WERE INOVATORS OF MANY ADVANCES THAT ARE STILL USED IN RADIOS TODAY.. ZENITH IS MY FAVORITE NAMEPLATE... SEE THE PICTURES FOR YOUR OWN EVALUATION... STILL HAS MANY MORE YEARS OF USE AVAILABLE OR DISPLAY WITH YOUR OTHER ZENITH COLLECTIBLES..
Most of the Short Wave Select Buttons work every time but, there are two that work but tend to pop out needing you to push it back in... Just needs some lubricant (easy to get to) to loosen up the works again...
This beauty is old and has been in storage for some time so be patient... I WAS LISTENING TO SPAINISH MUSIC FROM SPAIN WHILE GETTING IT READY... The item "ZENITH 1947 TUBE TRANS-OCEANIC SHORTWAVE PORTABLE RADIO.
