New (to me) Zenith H503Y portable radio.

You gotta love any radio from Zenith's glory years, build quality is always great. The speaker/dial is neat touch for a portable. Give it some TLC and you'll have a cool radio! I collect Zenith tabletops, 1946-66 and I'm continually impressed with how they are put together,look and perform. The Royalty of Radio crown (yours is on the upper dial) seen on most Zenith's 1949-70 symbolized their position as the leader in electronics.

I found a company annual report from 1955....Zenith had an amazing operation, science labs, massive production sites, etc. At one point, they had 30,000 employees!
