Zenith Black Dial - Just Got It

[jonboy55]

I got the radio at a weekly flea market that takes place every Sunday at about 77th street and Columbus Avenue on the upper west side of Manhattan. I live about 25 miles east of Manhattan in the suburbs and hadn't been to this flea market in about 7 years. The seller had a lot of furniture for sale and this was one of the pieces. The seller comes down often and told me he lives in Vermont. The flea market is in a large parking lot of a school and they even open the school building for some sellers - mainly jewelry.

I was parked about 3 blocks from the flea market and the seller even lent me his hand cart to bring the radio to the car and return it to him afterward. To trust someone in NYC with your property is a rare event. It was nice to see it can still happen.

By the way, the radio works but does need some filter cap and other work. It's missing the 2 Zenith tube shields, 3 of the 4 original knobs, and what can I say about the grill cloth. I'll give the Zenith guy in Minneapolis a call tomorrow about the grill cloth, etc.
