RARE 1937 Zenith #12-S-232 wood tombstone vintage vacuum tube radio
The most coveted of all of these old radios and displayed on the popular television program "The Waltons". This 12 tube Zenith is GORGEOUS!! The condition of the cabinet is a professional refinish done entirely by hand. This is the most deluxe Walton, a twelve-tube model. Simply it is the top of the line set that plays very well and will provide years of enjoyment! You are look...ing at a STUNNING example of this blue-chip radio. The speaker cloth is a perfect replacement in excellent condition, and the original grill cloth with no damage is included as is shown in the pictures; the knobs are the iconic "Z" wood knobs and are all factory original. The shutters are smooth as silk, with the ease of the flywheel tuning. The motor works well in both directions. My tech has replaced all of the components required to update the radio. The new old stock sensitive 6E5 eye tube shines bright with a great deal of sensitivity, opening and closing as you tune from station to station. The motor drive works perfectly, in both directions. The shutters work as smooth as silk. The chassis is very clean, please note the original stamp shown in pictures with the #12-S-232 model. We have added a mini-jack allowing you to connect to an external device. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content. Bluetooth device available for $25.00. Radio measures approximately 23-1/4"H x 17-3/4"W x 13"D.
You will be hard pressed to find a finer example of this great vintage vacuum tube radio! A perfect holiday gift for the seasoned collector!!
This radio is large and heavy, I recommend using Greyhound Package Express or Forward Air. I can also check the cost for FEDEX Ground; but rest assured, the radio will be packaged extremely well for safe arrival.
