Here's a nice looking table radio from Zenith.
I don't have a lot of old radios that can receive both AM and FM bands. Most are AM and a few offer shortwave reception as well. I do listen to some area AM radio stations and their programming, but a lot of what I like to hear "in the background" is carried only on FM. As such, finding a radio capable of receiving FM broadcasts is a nice surprise.
This radio also features an input for a ceramic-cartridge equipped phonograph/turntable. In the case that you don't have a matching turntable, you can use this input for a CD player, tape deck, TV set, MP3 player or almost any other device that puts out a line-level audio signal. In the picture above you can see that I've plugged in an iPod mini. (Note: Some people have suggested to me that using this input plug might cause a hazardous situation in some cases. The most concern seemed to be presented over the possibility of the connected device's case becoming electrically live. I have no had no problems plugging things into this radio to play them, but your experience could be different! Please be careful if you do this.)
Moving along, this radio offers decent long range reception when used with an external antenna. Audio quality is quite good, as the sound comes from not one "all purpose" speaker, but two...a regular speaker plays low and mid-range notes while an electrostatic tweeter handles the highs. (The tweeter looks like a flat blue square screwed down to the inside front panel of the radio.) This radio also seems to have more than enough volume to be heard even in a big room.
This radio was found set out for the trash collection one day. Other than the obvious soil on the grille cloth, I can find no good reason why this fine old radio was discarded. It played from the moment I brought it indoors and let it dry out. As for the stains on the grille cloth, a little bit of gentle scrubbing with a hand towel and some gentle soap made it look new again. Maybe the cracked dial cover and soil on the grille cloth was just not acceptable for the prior owner's decor.
I have no idea of the model number for this radio...only the the chassis number. This radio uses a total of seven tubes (12AT7, 6BJ6, 12BA6 x2, 35C5, 12AU6, and 19T8).
