Zenith H500 Trans-oceanic Vintage Shortwave radio

This radio is the H500 model, king of the old tube-type shortwave radios. The case has no cracks and the cover is clean and free of any gashes.

Clasp, handle and hinges are all intact and working. The telescopic antenna is free of bends and it extends to its full length.

The tip has the original plastic button. I replaced 4 of the 5 vacuum tubes with new.

You need professional input/calibration to tune the short wave bands. Each band is selected by a push button to the right of the dial. The plastic over the dial shows some wear but it is clear and not cracked. Speaker and speaker transformer works. Speaker cone appears to be intact and not brittle.

I did not remove it as it sounded good when playing the radio. Exterior construction is of leather and canvas/plastic over masonite. Cable for the battery is there.

This particular unit is perfect for a radio buff to take it to the next level. The radio comes with 10 extra tubes.

None have been tested but some may be in working order. The item "Zenith H500 Trans-oceanic Vintage Shortwave radio" is in sale since Friday, March 16, 2018.
