Two Nice Hi-Fi's on FB

Post: # 6285Post Hi-Fi-Mogul »

The RCA and the Zenith look to be in very good condition,
and fair prices. Especially for the Zenith stereo 2 piece, which looks great.

Both are very nice. They would make a nice addition to any collection.

I've never seen a 2 pc '58/59 Zenith with a control panel that fancy.

I saw a Zenith like that once in an antique store, and it was beautiful. They had a beautiful price on it was well and if I remember correctly it sat there for a couple of years before it was gone.

Mr. Mogul, how far are they from you? They would look nice in your collection. ;) :)

The RCA is a 1959 SHC-4, which is stereo like a SHC-6 if you plug in a companion speaker and flip the switch for stereo. This is a good steal at $75, mine was $100 and worked as found but no RP205, it was replaced by some awful drop-in BSR.

The Zenith is also one I have but that matching speaker I do not. That speaker has a model number like SRS-12 or SRD22, which has a second PP6BQ5 amp in it with three knobs on the side. This is in fantastic condition and one of the most desirable Zenith SF-series (stereo furniture?) models.

That Zenith is showroom gorgeous.
Too bad the RCA was poorly re-finished. Looks like the original finish was blonde. I think it has the deluxe RP-205 with the heavy platter and four pole motor.

Could that have been an original "limed oak" finish on the RCA?

It looks just as worn as mine in limed oak, I think its original. The Zenith (sold) has a "horizontal" dial, controls labeled as if mounted vertically - strange if its original. My SF185's tuner does not look like that :?:
