(wood tube console radio w/SW)

Zenith 12-S-265 "Robot Dial" Console (1938)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This classic console was part of the 1938 Zenith lineup that featured many other radios that used the unique "Robot" dial, commonly called a shutterdial. The 12-S-265 is probably the most sought after 1938 model. It has motorized tuning, Local/Distance & tone selectors, adjustable bass speaker baffle, tuning eye, and the band selection shutterdial. The (beautifully refinished with semi-gloss lacquer) cabinet is stunning with walnut veneers and quilted maple inlays. Shutters are excellent with no corrosion or paint loss. The chassis is in excellent condition and with twelve tubes, it receives the Broadcast band (550 to 1700 KC) and Short Wave in two bands from 1.7 to 18 MC. It has had a complete electronics tuneup with all new capacitors; tubes and resistors checked and replaced as needed. Grille cloth is a correct repro; knobs are original wood. 12 month warranty. Pickup in Central Virginia near Lynchburg, or Greyhound shipping to your local terminal for about $150. 42"H x 24"W x 16"D.
