Found Zenith 5S29 (?) tombstone radio

[radiotvnut]

After years of looking for a Zenith black dial tombstone at a price I could afford, I finally found one here locally. I think it's a model 5S29, according to a picture in my price guide. As you can see, it will need much work. The top is in bad shape and the trim pieces are missing, the white "Z" pointer is missing, and the dial glass is gone. At least it has the knobs. The chassis appears to be complete. Has anyone got any ideas as to where I can get a pointer, a dial glass, and the trim pieces for the top? I have not attempted to power up the chassis and will only do so after a good visual inspection and a little help from the variac.

Bill Turner may still have the clock glasses on his site - dialcover.com. If not, you may be able to get it from a clock repair shop or catalog. Alan Jesperson of Great Northern Antiques is the "go to" person for Zenith. http://www.alanjesperson.com/
