1939 Zenith Model 11S474 "Long Distance" console radio, chassis 1103, 11-tube, serial R699729 (confirmed from chassis tag). Standard Broadcast + Police band tuning on the signature Zenith "Long Distance" dial. Art Deco cabinet with fluted round columns and curved shutter-front grille.
Selling AS-IS, UNTESTED — chassis needs to be properly reseated/aligned in the cabinet before power-on testing. Sold for parts or restoration; no guarantee of function. Prewar Zenith consoles of this era were wired with rubber-insulated wiring that has typically deteriorated with age and generally requires rewiring to safely operate.
Cabinet shows wear consistent with age: chip/damage near the dial mounting hole (see photos), general finish wear on top and sides. Tubes present include RCA, Sylvania, and Zenith-branded originals (see photos).
LOCAL PICKUP ONLY — large floor console, not suitable for standard shipping. Buyer must arrange pickup or freight.
