After over a week of trying to get schedules together, I finally picked up this rather small Zenith console this evening. The guy even met me halfway, saving me some miles and I actually got to try a Steak and Shake for the first time ever during the trip.     Overall, the radio seems to be in very good condition with a couple issues that need ironed out. The additional IF can someone added to the back of the chassis seems only linked into antenna wire, with no hacking visible to the chassis. I guess he was selling the radio for his parents who lived in Brunswick, OH and he lives up in Cleveland, which added another issue getting things to jive with his parents to pick up the console. Since this was built the same year as Zenith's Stratosphere and the Baby Strats, I am going to call it the Micro Strat! 

   

   

I don't think the volume control shaft is supposed to pull out like this!   Ouch!
   

Note: I did have to use a little Auto-Enhance with my photo editor as it seems my camera is dying. It now takes rather washed out pictures.   But, the radio really does look about that sharp in person!
Edit: Actually, it looks better in person. Seems even with auto-enhance, the pictures didn't come out great.
