Zenith Model 6-S-229 Tombstone Radio (1938) With Adapter for Bluetooth

About the Item

Zenith Model 6-S-229 Tombstone Radio (1938) With Adapter for Bluetooth. Zenith 6-S-229 black-dial tombstone is one of several similar models where the front and sides of the cabinet are covered with FAUX finish, a paper-like film printed & textured to look like wood. The original finish is in excellent shape, the chassis has been all tested and an on/off aux switch has been added with a 1/8th inch plug which can be used to plug directly into a computer, phone, or Bluetooth transmitter. It’s a three-waveband ac-powered receiver using 6 tubes and a 6-inch speaker. This radio is additionally equipped with its connected BLUETOOTH / FM adapter with USB, AUX, and connection. This will allow you to use iPhones, Smartphones, Bluetooth, or a Record player. There is nothing that sounds better than hearing the warm bright analog sound of a tube amplifier. You can just ask any guitarist since this kind of amp is still being made and used. You have the best of digital and analog combined together.
