Found this guy out west. Restored via our radio club.
Purchased by some "drunk guys" who heard it play all day at the antiques/street fair and didn't want to leave without it.

That is a nice Zenith, Brett. I don't believe I have seen a Zenith instrument with the silver still on the outside of the knobs. That stuff was really delicate.
A good leader is someone who can tell you where to go, and make you look forward to the trip.
Never allow someone who has done nothing to advise you on anything.

Is that one a keeper?

Looks like it should be. How does it sound, and what are the innards?

Not a keeper. Found it on the wrong coast.
It uses their push pull 6BQ5 amp, 12" woofers and 5" tweeters. The fancier cabinets had horns

Re: 1959 Zenith SF2560
To keep Zenith model numbers in perspective, I offer this SF2565 in the much more familiar (at least on this coast) Maple cabinet. This one does sound great via the audio input but it sure was a hot mess inside. Picture at my friend's place after he found it upstate. The radio has been used to death, no silver in the plastic knobs and FM has bad silver mica crackles. The player is the same but its not the belt drive Zenith unit I have in one of my Z's
