All I know about this piece is that it belonged to my grandparents, it's a Zenith tube radio and record player, and it may be from the 1950s. If anyone has any additional info, it would be greatly appreciated.

Looks to be late 40's to mid 50's. This style came out in several brand names during this time period. They went from thge 30's style console to this style then to the longer low stereo radios of the 60's. I have had several sets of this style since I started collecting. They are gaining a bit of popularity the past few years but are usually a hard sell. Nobody has room for the larger floor radios. Too bad because many of these were well made furniture.
