Zenith
Model 5-S-29, 1936. This 5-tube gothic tombstone
really packs a punch. It has great reception
on all bands and there is plenty of power to
fill the room. This simple and relatively easy
to find tombstone has always been one of my favorites. The
5-S-29 tunes 5 wave bands on 3 simplified dial ranges,
has a 6-inch dynamic speaker, individually illuminated bands
and Split-Second Tuning. The printed price in
the 1936 Zenith Radio brochure for this tombstone is
$39.95, but in my copy it's crossed out and $42.95
is penciled in. Looks like the price increased
on this radio sometime after the brochures were printed.
