custom zenith console project (FINISHED!)
#1

I have had made a decision to change this very common 10s669 into a ebony beauty. All the wood veneer had been repaired and trim . To do this right i had taken control panel off and vertical bars and trim . These will be painted separate and polished separate along will cabinet. This radio will be done as grand piano are done in a very rich dark jet black color and will have several coats of piano clear lacquer that will be rubbed out and polished to mirror shine then reassembled . Grill cloth has been picked out and is dark in nature and will have a zenith pattern that was used in the late 30,s. Dial escution, band wheel and dial pointer will be redone in a chrome finish. Inside of cabinet will be given a fresh coat of zenith blue, all glue joints a wood blocks will be reglued. Chassis will be gone thru for top performance and safety. Antenna box will also be recovered and new wireing. She will be a beauty when finished.
