One think I don't like about brand Z radios from 1942 and 42 seasons is the proliferation of faux wood grain decals they used on many of their cabinets. This one isn't too bad, only a small strip bellow the dial and on top of the molding near the speaker grille, but some have half the cabinet covered with it. On the Philcos from that period they reserved the faux finish, they called it Philcoat, mostly for the cheaper sets.
