Zenith Radio
4/18/2010 5:30:23 AMAlan Keen
I have been given a number of old Zenith radio's. Some are partial units ( one is the radio section with amp selection switches on back-one switch says "Radio/Phono" and the other says "Television/Radio") from consoles. They look to be in great shape and I have repaired many other units without manuals. However, sometimes we just need a manual or even a photo and I just don't have even the Model number.
Can someone please help me to identify a unit or two? I can post a photo to your site if you would like. I have a business now where I do restorations and would like to fix up these units I have for others who also love these old units. Besides the email address above, I can be reached at my business at:

IDing an unknown radio is the first order of business. Many times 'googling' around will find a picture and model #.
Alan Jesperson's Great Northern Antiques has a lot of reproduction owners manuals and hardware to repair and complete the old Zeniths. I believe that his catalog also gives tips on where to find model/chassis ID #'s.
The large round dial consoles and Transoceanics are very collectible.

Hi Alan

With Zenith finding model, chassis or serial number can identify a radio. There are cross references available for these numbers.
