Zenith
Model 990, 1935. This
is one of the eight new 900 series sets that Zenith
bought out midway through the 1935 model year. The
sets were first introduced in the January 1935 issue
of Radio Retailing magazine. This
striking model features 12 tubes, a substantial stand-up
woofer and soundboard mounted tweeter, split-second
tuning and a beautiful cabinet with fluted pillars.
At $250.00, this was an expensive radio in 1935 and
is a rare find today. The only console better
than the Zenith 990 was the top-of-the 25-tube Zenith
Stratosphere which sold for $750.00 (be sure to check
out the Stratospheres on this website). |
