It was secured with epoxy from the underside. The original paper dial is distorted but very legible and rare to find intact. It retains the original finish and overall a very nice clean example.

Zenith 6G601M "Sailboat" (1941) Zenith 6G601M "Sailboat" (1941).   Here is a classic Robert Budlong designed pre-WWII Zenith portable which would look great standing in any collection. Budlong was one of Zenith's classic designers. It is in very nice condition to be 95 years old. It is missing its small drop-down front partial cover, but has all its original parts and is still working and playing, turning in all my local AM stations. The reception is decent when tuned in to my stronger AM stations but could use a recap as there is quite a bit of scratchiness between stations. This model originally was available in five versions: 6G601D Blue and gray Airplane fabric; 6G601L Genuine Top Grain Cowhide; 6G601M Brown Airplane fabric; 6G601MH Brown and Ivory Airplane fabric 6G601ML Simulated Brown Alligator. This Zenith is an AC/DC battery operated portable six-tube BC band receiver. The BC band frequency tuning range is 540 to 1620kHz. This would be a nice focal point displayed in your collection since it would look like a vintage radio instead of a suitcase! It would also be an excellent parts candidate with all its original knobs, chassis, tubes, beautiful dial, sailboat fabric speaker cover, perfect handle, antenna and antenna connection strap. It has a good line cord. Shipping anywhere will be by the most reasonable method. 15"W x 10"H x 7"D.  David Spivey.   E-mail: wdspivey@outlook.com  $72.00.  (0000124)
Zenith G503 "Universal" (1950) Zenith G503 "Universal" (1950).   The 1950 Zenith Universal is a portable set with a black leatherette coving. It was also offered in brown. These are not hard to find but you may never find one this complete. The radio is in very good overall condition and displays well. There are the usual hairline cracks on the dial cover where it hits the knobs at the right and left corners measuring 3/4" to 1". Included is the operating guide stained but complete. A 1963 repair ticket from Sylvan Radio in Washington D.C. An inspection ticket and very rare burgess battery that could be used in the 6G80, and G503 which is no longer viable. The radio has been serviced and plays well. Makes a great display piece. 12"W x 9"H x 6"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $279.00.  (0000038)
Zenith H500 Trans-Oceanic Zenith H500 Trans-Oceanic.    The iconic Trans-Oceanics were very popular after WWII and remain popular with collectors today. The case shows wear but overall this example still displays well. There is a hairline crack at a mounting screw but otherwise the face panel looks great. The telescoping antenna works as designed. The chassis is in very good condition and has been serviced. The radio has strong reception receiving AM and also Short Wave. Also included is the operating guide, promo publication and schematic. 17"W x 11"H x 7-1/2"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $219.00.  (0000039)
Zenith Royal 94 "Inter-Oceanic" (1967) Zenith Royal 94 "Inter-Oceanic" (1967).   Here is a very nice example of the Zenith royal 94. These are rather hard to find and especially in this condition. The grille is fragile and often damaged. This one is in excellent condition inside and out. The radio is playing well with strong reception on AM and FM. It is also active on amateur and short wave bands. A rare find that can be displayed and enjoyed with batteries included. 11-1/2"W x 8"H x 4"D.  Mark Toppo.   E-mail: lindatoppo32@gmail.com  $299.00.  (0000040)
