The classic 1937 Zenith Model 5-S-218 Long Distance ‘Cube’ table radiofeaturing a beautiful American walnut cabinet, stunning black dial, side mountedspeaker, wood ‘Z’ knobs, and excellent performance on both the AM broadcast andshortwave bands.

Cabinet:The cube style cabinet is absolutely beautiful. Gorgeouswood grain flows throughout the entire set with an attractive waterfall topdesign. An Art Deco cut grill is located on the front of the cabinet, as wellas the side, which houses the side mounted speaker. As if the radio isn’tstunning enough, just power this beauty up and the big black dial comes to lifewith a nice bright glow. A spectacular site, especially in a dimly lit room.Jet black trim and stylish claw feet finish the cabinet off perfectly. Thishighly collectible radio is sure to turn heads no matter which room in the homeor office you choose to display it in.

Dial/Knobs:Nothing compares to Zenith’s classic black dials.And this one is no exception. Illuminated by two new pilot lamps it lights niceand bright with a warm orange glow. The top half of the dial features theshortwave scale along with many foreign country names for reference. The bottomhalf displays the AM broadcast band while the Zenith lightning bolt logo andsleek ‘Z’ pointer are positioned right in the center. All letters and numbersindicating station frequencies are legible and show virtually no signs of wear.The dial glass is clear and free from any chips, breaks, or cracks. The threewood ‘Z’ knobs control; on/off & volume, tuning, and band switch/tone.

Grill Cloth: The 1930’s stylegrill cloth is a fine reproduction featuring aclassicgold color with aminiature diamond design. This grill cloth can also be purchased separately onour other sales.

Electronics/Chassis: All tubes in the 5 tube chassis were tested with any weak tubes being replaced. All caps, filters, and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. All brittle or bare wiring was replaced or re-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimal performance. With the included copper line antenna the radio performs exceptionally well on the AM broadcast and shortwave bands. I am able to pick up many stations, near and far, with sensitive reception, beautiful tone, and plenty of volume.

To see a video of this radio playing, click on this Cabinet’s Finish & Restoration Process: Our Radio cabinets undergo avigorous restoration process. Our goal is to maintain the natural beauty of thewood and grain, while providing a deep luster and shine. We achieve this byremoving all the old and worn lacquers and stains. We then sand the cabinetwith fine grit pads down to the original bare wood. Nicks, chips, and blemishesare filled and/or blended. Any loose veneer is re-secured. We make sure any fillerapplied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detract from the beautyof the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers are applied by hand.We continue by using many coats of Mohawk brand lacquers and toners applied inthe same manner as when the radio was originally finished in the factory. Weuse a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through a professional HVLPturbine spray system in a climate controlled room. Nitrocellulose lacquer isvery thin. We also apply very thin coats. This allows the lacquer to seep intothe grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sanding follows every third coatalong with a polishing process and ending with an Oz glaze rub. Many hours ofwork are put into the radios, but as you can see, the final outcome is abeautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster& shine. Our radiosare a great piece of history that come to you ready to proudly display, as wellas listen to, in any room of the home or office.
