A Zenith cube for the collection.
#1

I saw this little Zenith 5S126 listed on my local Craigslist on Saturday. Seller was asking $75 or best offer. I've always liked this style Zenith since I saw one in our local museum as a kid, so I emailed the seller right away offering there asking price in cash. I waited all weekend for a reply and finally got a bulk reply this morning saying the seller would be home all day today and the radio was "first come, first serve". All they gave was their address and no phone number to call. Fortunately, I'm on vacation today and tomorrow, so I read the email early and drove right over their, and for once I was the first in line. Nice little set in solid condition, very happy to have it!!

I always wanted a Z-cube but haven't so far brought myself to buying one.
When restored propelry they are lookers! And should play nicely too.

Yes, and you got $100 worth of knobs with it too!

Nice find, I have always admired the cubes but to pricey for me. You got a heck of a deal!
