It rested comfortably on the floor of his farm house living room for many years. It was given to my dad in the 60s and brought to Saratoga Springs, NY. 30 years later he gave the radio to me.

The Zenith model 10S452 was produced in 1940. Zenith Armchair (aka Chairside) production started in 1937 and ended in 1942. They were not very popular and consequently very few were produced. Relatively rare and very collectible as a result. It features 10 tube superheterodyne tuning with 3 tuning ranges.

It incorporates a built-in Wavemagnet for station tuning, however an outside aerial antenna will bring in more short wave stations. It also has an Electric Tuning Indicator, which glows as you zero in on a station. Grandfather called it a "Magic Eye".
