This is perhaps one of the prettiest table top “tombstone” tube radios ever made. The woodwork on the cabinet is intricate and features all real wood inlays — no photofinish coverings. The radio is a 6-tube AC-powered model, one of Zenith’s premier sets for model year 1934 or 1935. Cosmetically this radio is in outstanding condition. The finish is so smooth and bright that it’s almost mirror-like. What looks like ripples in the finish in some photos is actually reflections of marks on my white cardboard background. I do not know if the finish is original, but if not it was refinished extremely skillfully. The knobs are reproductions. I bought this radio about a dozen years ago and have not done any work on it except to attach a long wire antenna. It’s been a rarely played “shelf queen” and I’ve never even pulled the chassis out of the cabinet, so I cannot say whether it has been restored electrically except that the cord is new. There is some motorboating between stations, but none when tuned in. As with all antique radios, if you intend to play it regularly the nearly 90-year-old capacitors should be replaced (if they haven’t already been). I have been collecting and restoring vintage radios and TV’s for more than thirty years. Please see my other listings for more vintage electronics items. I don’t have a lot of silly rules for buyers: Pay for your item and I’ll send it you. I’ll trust you and you can trust me to do right. In response to a question, the size of this radio is 17 inches tall by 12 inches wide by 9 inches deep. The item “1934/35 Zenith Model 808 Vacuum Tube Antique Radio – GORGEOUS & Working” is in sale since Sunday, September 5, 2021. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “xj3″ and is located in Bend, Oregon. This item can be shipped to United States.

The cabinet has multiple veneer inlays that display the high quality craftsmanship of those days. With an almost perfect cabinet, is has had a few repairs to the bottom veneer, most of which you will be very hard pressed to find. What also makes it stand out is the green “magic eye” tuning eye tube. The one in this radio is bright, strong and works perfectly as you tune in your favorite stations. It has five tubes plus the eye tube. It has very good reception, selectivity and sensitivity using the external antenna lead with 10-12 feet of wire (included). It has a rich and mellow tube sound through a six inch speaker. It also has tone control to further enhance your listening preference. And of course a. S with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was stripped of the old varnish and lacquer, keeping the original stain. It was then nourished and rejuvenated. The top trim was redone using dark walnut toner to match the original. The entire cabinet was given eight coats of clear lacquer with excellent results. The glass dial face is in excellent condition with crisp and clear graphics that are nicely lighted. The grill cloth behind the wooden grill was replaced with an almost perfect match to the original. The original knobs and push buttons were polished. One of the push buttons is a replacement I made from wood guess which one! Only three of the mechanical push button are working. The original back cover/antenna assembly is in good condition. The original felt pads are on the bottom to protect your furniture. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the included external wire antenna. This very desirable, elegant and rare radio is now 82 years old and looking almost like it did when new. And, now that it is completely restored, it sounds like it too! Just imagine all of the news of the world, music and stories this wonderful radio has broadcast, including the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941! It will continue to bring reliable enjoyment for many more years if well cared for. It is a wonderful addition to a collection or as a gift for someone to cherish. It is a heavier radio for its size due to the transformer and quality wood construction, but well worth it! It can also be affected by FAX machines and other devices. If you are having reception interference, try turning off those devices and check for improvement. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.

This is a 1936 Zenith 12-U-159 antique radio. It is a massive 12 tube chassis with a large black dial with colored frequency ranges. It appears to have been restored and is in working condition. I have not looked under the chassis, but there is a fuse on the radio now, which is not original, so it’s very likely that it has been restored some years ago. I personally have owned this radio for about 5 years and it has received many compliments. Please note, the tweeter speaker does not appear to be original. Whoever restored it put a different tweeter and taped a home-made cover over it to give it somewhat correct appearance. I personally have used UShip several times and would recommend them.

Very nice used cosmetic condition. Veneer is solid and tight with no repairs or wood filler. There were some scratches in the top coat so we gave the top coat a light sanding and applied a clear coat. That is all the work that we did but someone over the years most likely refinished it. We did slowly power this up with a Variac to test that it powers on. Once on it seem to work surprising well for not being restored. That being said I’m sure there is lots of dated resistors that need to be changed. A radio of this caliber should most likely be completely gone through and overhauled before being used. This should only be bought by a qualified technician or if not you planned on bringing it to someone who repairs radio before you turn it on. Old tube radios with dated electronics can be very dangerous. Please look at the 12 pictures closely and judge the condition, size and con. Res it is most likely not included in the listing.
