I was honored to be the person chosen to restore this rare zenith Stratosphere radio cabinet model 16a63. I have refinished many radio cabinets but this one had to be done very carefully and with some patience as most of my work.. I wanted to show you guys the zenith Stratosphere I have done for a collector. Also I have two other rare radios from same collector that I will post as well. Thanks for looking

Looks wonderful.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
