While at a flea market seeing the antiques sign I stumbled on a rugged old radio! After my inspection I had seen the dial with the hard wood. Then the dial I had seen the meters under the kilocycles dating this radio arount the late 1930s. So happily I handed over my $10 Icon_biggrin

. After opening the back cover I saw the amazing antenna. Next the tubes, they weren't loktals they were earlier so I felt glad with my purchase. So after replacing the cord it worked with amazing quality!!!
So if you see a zenith 8D625 I would buy it for the right price.
