Rad! That Zenith is exactly one of the models I was looking at, but the seller was saying the FM was spotty and I don't know if I could fix it in time for the holidays.
I was out at the local mini mall today, and saw that there is someone local that refurbishes and sells old bakelite radios. I'm gonna send him an email and see what else he'll work on. Maybe I can get my receiver restored without having to pay ghoulish shipping charges
.
Folks offering to to sell: I'm certainly interested. My brother, Adam, has a taste for vintage things (he was firing WWII era rifles for a while as a hobby, has a number of old working and not working watches, etc...). I think he would appreciate a classic clock radio (sort of a combination of our respective hobbies, I guess). I'm only interested in ones that still have their knobs and work, but I know that I can trust AKers
. If any of you have some pics you want to show me, please PM me, or feel free to show your radio off here
