Zenith 5-S-126 (1937)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

 This gorgeous Zenith 5S126 "cube" was a good seller for Zenith in 1937, and is popular with collectors still, topping out at $795 on the attic in 2021. The cabinet is attractively appointed and stoutly built. It has the large, easy to read, well lit, classic Zenith black dial. I gave this radio a stunning, slick finish with 16 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations. The well designed chassis is a very good performer on broadcast and short wave. I replaced all the capacitors and resistors and fitted it with all high testing tubes for long service life. A full alignment produced a very accurate dial. The professionally reconed speaker sounds amazing. A proper fabric cord and reproduction safety plug round out the restoration. I had to touch up a little rust on the chassis. Beyond that, I doubt you will find a nicer example of this classic Zenith. Requires an external antenna. 13-3/4"W x 12"H x 9-1/2"D. $695.00. (1680147)
