Zenith X334

[HotShards]

Saw your post and pics, nice job! I was checking out this section because I have a friend who collects old radios.

I recognized your radio as resembling the one I listen to when I'm working on my car in the garage! When my aunt passed away in the '70s, my mom was in charge of handling her estate. My mom had told me, "if there is anything you like, take it". For some reason, I wanted that old radio. Don't ask me why. It works great, after the tubes warm up. In the picture, I have a small piece of masking tape near the volume knob on the radio...my visual preset of the volume I usually listen to.

Mine looks a little different than yours. It's an X334W, dated 1-30-59? (See picture of tag) It looks like the legs are different, the wood is darker, and the grill cloth is dark also...the rest looks like the same set-up.

I know nothing about this radio. You inspired me to clean it up! The volume knob comes off really easy, but the tone knob does not and I'm afraid of breaking it. Does the tone knob slide out like the volume knob? I might try painting the knobs.
