Zenith 5-S-127
#5

The non-Zenith look alike that comes to mind is a Stromberg-Carlson Model 60:

I like the 5-S-127. But, it takes a lot of turning to get from one end of the dial to the other.

I have about 1 and 3/4 of them.

The first is a "chimera" of sorts. It's the first "antique" radio I bought and a 5-F-134 cabinet (same except for battery holder) and a 6-S-229 (5638) chassis. For now it contains another 6-S-229 chassis I restored. I have a 5-tube chassis for it in the pipeline.

The second is an empty cabinet that needs to be repaired/refinished, a chassis bought separately that needs to be restored, 3 of the 4 knobs and no speaker, at least not the correct speaker. The speakers seem hard to come by.

Can't think of anything witty.
