    Any information would be appreciated. Tubes are intact. Looking to have it refinished. Couldn’t tell you the last time it was turned on.

      If you have the piece ? I don't see much info from you !~ Why does the top look green ?
    2. danwalker, 11 months ago
      The radio is a 1930 Zenith model 61 with nine tubes. It is called a ''low boy' and the price of the radio in 1930 was $198.00.
      It has a separate power supply which sits on the bottom of the cabinet
      Just google ''Zenith radio , model 61''

      danwalker, Aha, thanks. :-)

      I tried for a bit yesterday, but couldn't get anywhere with either "Zenith 500" or Google Lens.

      Here's the Radio Museum page for the Zenith model 61:

      The top is not green as in PhilDMorris. It’s the sunlight from the entryway. The plate behind where the tubes are says this, ZE-502. Model 50. Thank you to others for info. Much appreciated.

      The serial number is 1007

      It is a Zenith radio model 61,according to the cabinet.
      It is possible that someone had put a different chassis in the cabinet,
      and that is what you are a reading..try looking up ''ZE-502 model 50 , and you don't get anything resembling your cabinet.
      Just trying to help
      look at this link

      danwalker, Yup, that was what was confounding me the other day when I went looking for it at the Radio Museum.

      Here is what the cabinet looks like on the Zenith model 552:

      The notes make mention of a "Power pack ZE-502."

      mrsbbus11, The cabinet is beautiful.
