Another Brand Z sneaks into the collection.
#6

Most sites do list this as a Zephyr model of Zenith due to the grill and I really love these vertical radio/phono combinations. My usual complaint about these in the postwar ear is that they usually had smaller speakers to fit the phonograph in, but it seems Zenith decided to do the opposite in the prewar years. This thing is rather tall for a ten tube console radio of the time and the speaker is indeed a whopping 15 incher! It also appears to have a deep cone and large coils, so I am curious as to how this radio will sound once it is back in action. Size-wise, this radio is actually a bit larger than my Philco 38-116, which is a large console in itself. Definitely taller from what I can tell.

No matter where you go, there you are.
