  • VINTAGE BAKELITE 1948 ZENITH MODEL 6D815 WORKING TABLE TOP TUBE RADIO 

     

      For your viewing pleasure is a very clean all original working 1948 Zenith table top AM radio with Brown case. The company Chicago Radio Labs was founded in 1918 by Ralph Matthews and Karl Hassel. In 1923 the name was changed to Zenith Radio Company. The name came from their call sign 9ZN. In 1939 they produced their first TV sets. The 1960s Zenith patented the remote control. Due to foreign competition Zenith filed for Bankruptcy in 1999. Zenith always made quality radios and this one is no exception. The radio is 12 inches wide, 7 inches high, and 6 inches wide. The Brown Bakelite cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, breaks, or scratches and still has its original showroom shine. The knobs are free of any cracks, chips, or breaks. There is some slight wear to the plating on the knobs from age and use. The clear plastic dial face, Brass dial indicator, and Aluminum speaker cover have no issues. The power on light on the top of the radio works. The carrying handle is in very good condition but is stretched slightly from age and use. The back cover has all its clips and there is slight wear. On the bottom of the radio is the original UL sticker and ink stamp of the model number. The original cord does not have any cracks, bare wire areas, and is not worn. The tubes were tested and were all good. The radio was tested and really sounds nice (there is a short video of the radio in operation so you can how the radio operates and sounds in our Video’s Section). The radio is a tube radio so it takes a minute for the tubes to warm up and the radio to play. This is normal for Tube radios. This would make a nice addition to the avid vintage radio collector or as a working vintage décor piece for the home or office. Remember at Zenith “The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On.”
