Zenith Console

Post: # 894Post William »

This is something you just do not see around these parts. Price is steep, at least for me, but I guess they do go for that kind of money.

The Zenith consoles with louvered doors are popular, but not THAT popular. That is silly money. Maybe move the decimal point over a notch. It might still be all-tube. The tuning eye looks like it might be a tube.

I'm not sure when Zenith went from all tube to hybrid, then to all SS. I know the 1969 Zenith, same model series as in my "FIND", is all SS.

Looks like that tuning tube might be an EM84

That's a nice original owner piece, but yes, over priced
for being un-restored.

It does have the Zenith-made clam-shell 45 adapter
belt drive changer.

The product booklet photo indicates amp is solid state.
I'd bet this is a hybrid unit.

I had a same year similar size model w/o the louvers.
I know it had tubes, cannot remember if also
some SS components.
It did sound big for a moderate sized console.

I have that model and just added a thread about it in the "Zenith" section.
