Zenith 6-D-615 Art Deco-1942

This is one of the classic pre-War Zenith designs before Zenith converted to wartime production. This set was designed by Robert Budlong, Zenith's most prolific radio designer. This Budlong design is known to collectors as the "Darth Vader radio" for obvious reasons. It has an undamaged Bakelite case with four black pushbuttons and caramel colored knobs. A boomerang-styled dial gives this set instant appeal. A scratch or two, but no cosmetic damage like cracks, chips or hairline cracks. This six-tube chassis has been checked, and the set plays very well picking up all my local AM stations during the day, and many distant stations at night with an internal loop antenna. A Retro-Tronics replacement back is on the case. About 12"W x 8"H x 7"D.
