Zenith 12-S-266 "Robot Dial" Console (1938)
(wood tube console radio w/SW)

Zenith 12-S-266 "Robot Dial" Console (1938)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This beautiful, twelve-tube radio was manufactured in Chicago, Illinois, in 1937. Turning the band switch changes the dial face like a shutter camera. This was called a shutter dial. It also has a knob in the center of the tuning dial that engages a motor to turn the dial pointer. It has a green magic eye tuning tube at the top of the large black dial face that narrows when a station is tuned in. The 12-inch speaker with 15 watts output has an acoustic adapter to reinforce the bass response. It is a very ornate, stylish, retro looking radio with beautiful burl book-ended panels. The grille cloth was a very "modern" look in 1937!
