I thought I'd share a photo of one of my other radios.

It's a Zenith Zephyr Model 6S157.

It's fully restored. Although I did next to nothing to the cabinet.

It's just a 6 tuber, but it sounds real nice. Sometimes I hook up a Bluetooth receiver to the phono jack it has, and play music off of my laptop through the Zephyr. I have even used that setup to stream old radio shows from the 30's and 40's to it.

Beautiful cabinet, I've always liked the '37 Zenith dials.  I've got a pretty cool book of 1937 Zenith matches:
