    Description

    This is a 1936 Zenith 12-U-159 antique radio.  It is a massive 12 tube chassis with a large black dial with colored frequency ranges.  It appears to have been restored and is in working condition.  I have not looked under the chassis, but there is a fuse on the radio now, which is not original, so it's very likely that it has been restored some years ago.  I personally have owned this radio for about 5 years and it has received many compliments.
    The radio does work and here is a video of it playing:  https://youtu.be/JGQyIWAVjJU
    Please note, the tweeter speaker does not appear to be original.  Whoever restored it put a different tweeter and taped a home-made cover over it to give it somewhat correct appearance.
    SHIPPING: I will not ship this radio, but I will work with whoever your shipper is, such as UShip.  I personally have used UShip several times and would recommend them.
