~ 1938 PRE WAR ZENITH MARBLED BAKELITE TUBE RADIO ~
Offered to you from the Radio-Cafe is this spectacular tube radio by Zenith! This gorgeous1938 Zenith, Model 6D312bakelite tube radio has been fully restored inside & out.The cabinet has no cracks,chips,or repairs and is in fantastic condition!This cabinet known as the \"Beehive\" was designed by famous designer Robert Budlong and is a favorite among collectors. The beautiful dark chocolate marbled bakelite has some very nice marbling which you can see from the pics taken in sunlight. The chassis was filthy when I got this radio, the speaker baffle was rotted,as well as the preset buttonenclosure. The back was missing and dial lens warped and yellowed, not to mention other details that needed attention,.. which are listed in the restoration details below. I\'ve included 19 individual photos showcasing the restoration work inside and out.
The cabinet has been professionally polished with my ALL Natural Process using NO car polish wet look tricks,caked on gunk,sprays, poly coats,saturation tactics to make the bakelite appear darker,or any other artificial enhancers. My photos represent the accurate bakelite color in different lighting with NO software touch ups!It takes many hours through several stages to complete this natural process but when it\'s all said and done what you get is a pure natural bakelite shine. I go the extra mile and make sure every square inch is cleaned using special hand-made pic tools, toothbrushes, and Q-tips(no black sharpie marker tricks used here folks). I\'ve been doing natural bakelite polishing the same way for over 20 years now and do notcut corners or take short cuts with my cleaning & polishing method.. nothing but lots of time and plenty of elbow grease.
Ifyou\'rea more of a purist collector of antiques then we have something in common. No crazy paint jobs,cosmetic enhancers,or car salesman gimmicks,... justoriginal antique restorationfor theTRUEcollector!
This beautiful Zenith is ready to be displayed & played!!!

Keep in mind, this antique vacuum tube radio is not a boom box,solid state radio,or any other modern type radio. It uses vacuum tube technology which can produce audio interference caused by many different things such as florescent lighting, energy saving bulbs,kitchen appliances,etc,etc... so placement of the radio is very important to avoid any possible audio interference. And like many other electronic devices,.. when not in use the radio should be unplugged to prevent any damage during electrical storms.
~ RADIO-CAFE~
I\'ve been collecting & restoring tube radios since 1987,and have sold well over 2000 tube radios worldwide with over 1000 radio photos in my extensive gallery on file!Many of my restored radios are displayed in museums,on international radio websites,and published in popular radio books. Unlike many who perform the quick and lesser quality restorations just in order to sell more,... myphilosophy is always quality before quantity and as a result the buyer receives a radio that has been restored with the utmost finer details in mind.
I spent 20 years as a Machine Specialist in the Aerospace & Injection Molding fields. Having this type of background has given me the experience & high standards that I try to maintain in my radio restoration work as well. My experience includes: custom wood refinishing,all natural bakelite polishing,electronic restoration,and radio dial cover molding. With my radio descriptions you get a factual description and I prefer to stay away from the sugar coated phrases such as... \"stunner\",\"near mint\",\"normal age related wear\",\"museum quality\",\"doesn\'t get any better\",\"completely flawless\",best of the best\"unmolested\",\"mint\", or all the bla bla the reader has to weed through before even getting to the actual item description. My item descriptions always starts right at the top and with the important restoration details listed below it.
