BIG ZENITH 39A FINALLY FINISHED
#1

    This zenith gave me goose bumps after I completed putting back together because I am so proud of all the hard work that I have put into this and the results are stunning. It plays very nice , it is a show piece.

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

 The lever will rotate the large loop antenna that's on the inside of cabinet, you can see that antenna in one of the pictures of the back, its in the left coner.

Looks great, could be a centerpiece.
