This vintage Zenith AM/FM radio was released in the 50's and 60's- Model X-323. Handheld devices now dominate our life. Eyes are locked on the screens, leaving no room for imagination to what we see and hear.
Radio was the prominent device once, and we saw the world on the radio, traveling to places unknown. Be it news, sports or music, radios from the past ignited your mind to paint intricate pictures of what you were hearing.
The cabinet of this radio is a simple design in great shape- like a little piece of well-made furniture. Only a couple marks are on the top and sides (see pictures). Both the AM and FM signals are strong. 35 watts of power and 120 volts. These old tube radios had the one line of the power cord connected to the chassis. So be very careful if you want to do maintenance. You will get a shock if you don't know what you are doing. It has a single speaker and sounds great. Just sitting back and listening to a vintage radio takes you to a place much different than today's norm. Call it relaxation, call it more than a radio. It is a slowing down of the mind from the extra stimulation, towards something simple to enjoy. See the world on the radio and even better yet, see yourself.
