This is a beat up old Zenith solid state AM/FM table radio that I inherited from my Uncle when he passed away in '94. I'm guessing this to be a '69 model from the "Z" prefix in the model number. It sat on top of his refrigerator for my entire life and he played it every morning. He always told me that when he died, he wanted me to take that radio home before I did anything else. It actually plays nice and has good reception. I guess this one was made before Zenith started outsourcing their radios from Korea and Taiwan. This radio was a little beat up when I got it; but, is more beat up now. Shortly after I got it, the shelf that it was sitting on fell apart and this radio, along with some 78 rpm records and some Bakelite radios hit the floor. This was the only radio that survived (with a few more battle scars). I hope to soon patch it up and make it look presentable. BTW, I don't think I've seen this particular model Zenith before. I've seen several Zenith solid state table radios; but, they were all in plastic cabinets.
