Model 6-S-27, 1936. This
is the 6-tube AC version as the “S” notation
suggests. It was also available as model 6-V-27, a 6
volt farm set with a synchronous vibrator. This was the first year of the big black dial
or Magnavision as Zenith called it--on affordable sets
(the 1000Z Stratosphere did debut in 1935 model line-up
with a massive black dial, but it was priced at $750.00). One
of my favorite tombstone radios with a recessed concave
speaker grille, made from Australian Laurelwood and butt
walnut, the 6-S-27 tunes 5 wave bands on 3 simplified
dial ranges. Original list price: $59.95. |
