1950's Zenith radio from an estate sale

[Captainclock]

I had a radio just like that, its a pretty common model, I believe its from the early 1960s, and the one I had like it worked pretty well too when I got it, except for the phono jack on the back, it seemed to have a bit of a hum to it when you hooked up an iPod or a tape player to it (its a line level phono jack meant for use with a mono ceramic cartridged record player) and I could never figure out why the phono jack on mine had a hum to it, I ended up junking mine out, and salvaging the tubes from it. It is a hot chassis design so when or if you do have to work on it unplug it from the wall (it has an interlock style plug so when you do work on it it would be dead anyways but that only means you shouldn't try using a cheater cord with it either unless you're done working on it and need to test it out, even then I would reinstall the plastic knobs so that you don't risk electric shock!)
