DESCRIPTION: Bakelite tabletop tube AM radio manufactured by Zenith in 1951 in excellent working condition. This is an incredible sounding radio in original factory molded white bakelite color! What this radio lacks in flamboyant looks, it makes up for in performance! I've had a few of these Zenith H series radios from the early 50's and they sound great! Even in my remote location, so many stations come in clearly! The electronic circuit design seems to hold up better than most over time. Knobs are original and securely attached. This radio is almost 65 years old! Dial light works. No missing ink, smudges, or rub-off on dial lettering. Functional handle. The black caning winding on handle is split in a few places but intact. The tuning dial works fine. The power cable is securely attached. All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The tubes are working fine. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents. There is no loud or pervasive hum. There is no loud or pervasive static between stations. The set has been aligned according to factory specifications. The power cord and plug are good original working condition with no cracks, or splits. No exposed wiring. The radio has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. All wiring has been thoroughly checked for possible bridging and weak solder connection. Comes from non-smoking, mature, clean professional environment no pets. When this radio was new, Harry S. Truman was president!
