Vintage Art Deco Zenith 1940 10S464 Console Tube Radio ~ 10 Tube

Description: This gorgeous Art Deco console radio is the 1940 Zenith 10S464.The radio has a premium grade 10-tube, high output chassis, and with its 10-inch speaker and is an incredible performer. History - This model first appeared in the fall of 1939 and sold into the 1941 model year. This model has some nice showroom features. The chassis is mounted on springs, which you can sense as you adjust the tuning knob or volume control. Also, it has a heavy flywheel mounted on the tuning shaft, giving the tuning knob a luxurious, heavy-duty feel. When the tuning knob is spun, the momentum of the flywheel keeps it spinning slightly. The "Wavemagnet" internal antenna can be rotated for peak reception. The chassis is colored in a gold hammertone finish. The chassis is remarkably deep, five inches, allowing for a lot of component separation inside. The set has three bands: standard AM broadcast and two shortwave bands. The tuning dial is Zenith's signature aviation-style round black dial with a green magic eye. The radio has a tuned RF stage ahead of the converter tube. The audio power amplifier section uses two 6V6 tubes in a push-pull circuit, providing plenty of power to drive the 10-inch electrodynamic speaker. This is a sign of a high-quality design.
