1959 to '61 era, Zenith model B600 (last of the vacuum tube models) trans-oceanic radio.
In nice over all condition and has had the capacitors changed out and the original selenium rectifier has been updated to a modern diode.
Plays great on AM, doesn't seem to pull in much on shortwave in my area at least.

Complete with the original instruction/station/tuning booklet on the lid. Has a size F battery which is long dead to power the dial bulb but the battery isn't leaky at all so I've left it there for looks. There is no large power battery at all but works perfectly off the normal 120v plug.
The Wave-Magnet antenna is missing one suction cup.

Measures about 17" x 11" x 8"
