Zenith console stereo
Picking one of these guys up tomorrow for $30. Everything seems to work. Real nice dark solid wood. Legs at the bottom. All the cabinets i ever had sat directly on the floor (no legs). Any idea what year model this is. Will post pics of mine when it gets here.

There is a good chance there is/was a monochrome tv behind the center doors.
|
Probably one of the higher end models with the nice Belt drive changer.
|
That is a 1964 mid line model.
The doors on front are just decorative and do no open. |

Well i go in yesterday to pick it up and she has this funny look on her as she says there was a mis communication between her and her boss. The price is $200. Isit worth that much? A 1964 will have tubes then, right?
|
I would not pay that much for it.

They might've got a lot of response from the ad and thought it was selling too cheap. I hate dealing with some of those BIMBOS! :thumbsdn: |
Thats way too much for an unrestored unit. Test out the record changer, if it doesnt fully work, make an offer.

Unfortunately a few lucky folks have gotten a few hundred bucks for the tubed consoles, which causes others to assume they have a goldmine. I got an 1964 Admiral very similar to that Zenith in a bit rougher shape for $50. But it had most tubes replaced and needed recapped. It still has an issue in teh FM discriminatr. |

Then one of us buys it, invest $50 in parts like capacitors, a stylus and maybe idler wheel, a couple bucks worth of DeOxit, then spend a lot of time cleaning it. We cannot go lower than $150, knowing we will stand behind it repair-wise, then its too expensive for the would-be decorator or record collector.:sigh: The greedy ones just think we are flipping it, so they want to be difficult. Well, flip them! |
What would be a good price for something like this?
|
Some might depend on the record changer installed, but $100 is entirely possible. It looks nice enough allright.
If you could get a model number, I have Zenith factory books on these models and the number and type of speakers vary quite a bit. |
Right. I'll see what i can find out.
