I just purchased (and fell in love with) a Zenith floor
model "long distance" radio--mahogony wood. Left top
drawer opens downward bringing out a Cobra Matic record
player. Right door opens to the right and reveals radio
with three buttons on either side of the dial reading:
LoBass, Bass, Voice, and Treble, Alto, Normal. The
left lower door opens to a storage space, and the right
lower door reveals the speaker. Chasis # is 10H20. It
has 8 vaccume tubes. Unable to see a clearly labeled
serial #...possibley 158858. Can give further info.
if desired. Want to find out more about it, year,
history. Thank you very much!

: The Zenith you describe is listed in Rider's Service manual #21 (XXI) dated 1950. It is a 10 tube AM & FM
!R/P. This Chassis was found in Zenith models H1083E, H1086R and H1087R. These units tend to be collected by younger collectors and around here go for $30-$70. Merced, CA

have you ever determined a certain value for this
particular model? I have just acquired one that is in
mint condition and just was wondering what the value
is. I recentlypurchased it in a "yard sale" for $30.00...
