    1939 ZENITH 5808 Console Tube Radio w/ 8S463 Chassis
    Comes with the original instructions!!
    This radio is in fair to good condition with some wear/damage to the veneer. The chassis has been tested as far as powering up and I was able to dial in a hockey game, I did test the bass alto normal and voice sound button's which all seemed to function correctly. All the tubes appear to be original. Several of the wires are frayed and should be replaced or repaired. The power wire and plug are in good condition. It has a Zenith 49U380 speaker
    LOCAL PICKUP ONLY, I WILL NOT SHIP THIS UNIT.
    The Zenith 8-S-463 was introduced in the fall of 1939 as part of the 1940 model line-up. Its original selling price was .95.
    It's an 8-tube three-band all-wave superheterodyne that was referred to in Zenith advertising as the "super 8". Its features include:-
    Rotor wavemagnet aerial
    Radiorgan
    Extended range 6-button Automatic Tuning
    Big Black Dial
    Outer-Circle RF circuit
    Television sound connection
    10" speaker
    Oversized cabinet in Genuine Walnut
    Tuning beacon tube (magic eye)
    Almost all of the 1940 Zenith models adopted the company's new "wavemagnet" built-in aerial.
    This had made its debut during the 1939 season in the likes of table model 6D315. In the large sets, such as this one, the wavemagnet is rotatable at the rear of the set.
    The tube line-up is 1232 (RF amp), 6A8G (mixer/LO), 6K7G (IF amp), 6J5G (2nd detector diode-connected triode), 6F5G (af amp), 6F6G (single ended AF power amp), 6X5G (rectifier) and 6U5 (magic eye).
    These Zenith's are known for their impressive 'big'sound and this one is no exception.
    This unit is in excellent antique conditions, all original and sounds really good for old radio!
    You can see it for yourself in the pictures, watch the video or make arrangements to stop by and test it out before you purchase it.
