Here is a very nice Zenith Transoceanic radio model R520/URR. It was made for the US army, by Zenith during the very early 1950's Korean war. This radio is as found many years ago. This case is as nice as can be found and all original. Only 2 small repaired areas on the right side top as can be seen in the photos. It is hard to see as it was repaired using the original material so it must have been done while still in the US Army's hands. I've seen quite a few of these but never one with such a nice all original case. The face is nice with slight crazing of some of the gold areas when looked at up close. I did have the capacitors changed about 2 years back by a professional tech who has been working on radios for over 50 years. He left the original capacitors on top so it looks original and put new replacements under the chassis. He then aligned it using professional equipment. Everything else was left as original and the chassis still says US GOVT PROPT on it . It also has the original clearcoat on it. There is no rust or corosion at all. It works well on all bands. Really picks up the shortwave with just its internal antenna. This is a very nice military Zenith radio that you can just plug it in and enjoy. High bidder to pay within 10 days of auctions end. High bidder to pay shipping of $22.00 in the cont. US.
