Zenith 12S265 Robot Dial Console Radio Antique Works
|
Featured today is this beautiful Zenith console radio from 1938. It is the model 12S265 and it has the big black round dial that Zenith was famous for. This model has the 'robot dial' that opens and closes as you change the bandwidth from standard to short wave. The radio also has a tuning eye, motorized tuning, high fidelity tone selector and an acoustic adapter over the speaker. The 12S265 is a high end radio with 12 tubes and a attractive art deco cabinet. It measures 43 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 16 inches deep.
The radio does still play; I was able to pull in several AM stations. There is some hum in the background so the electrolytic capacitors should be replaced. The motorized tuning worked as well but the tuning eye is weak. The cabinet is nice with the original finish. There is veneer damage on both sides near the bottom back edge. There are also a few white paint drips visible on the right side. The finish on the base is worn. The grill cloth is original and in nice shape with no holes or rips. The power cord is a newer replacement. The dial opens and closes properly.
The buyer is welcome to pick this up locally for no charge or I will pack and ship the chassis and cabinet separately. Don't miss this chance to own this classic Zenith radio!
