I've been on a Brubeck kick lately, and I figure I'm in this far - I might as well just keep going. So here is another Columbia six "eye" from 1957 - CL 1034.
Jazz Goes to Junior College. The DB Quartet - Brubeck, Desmond, Bates and Morello. When they started the only reason they named the quartet after Brubeck is his name was the most well known in the venues they were playing.

Not true you could have warned me about messing with the phone box. I could have electrocuted myself when i was cleaning all the dead ladybugs. Also had to run a new phone line. Mine got weed wacked. Lol.

I'd have been happy to take care of that for ya. No worries about electrocution by phone line. There's only 48 volts and no amps, however when they're ringing it goes up to 100 volts and that WILL get your attention.
 
That’s an old Zenith from 1937. (At least I’m pretty sure it’s from 1937. Years ago I did some research to figure it out, and that’s what I came up with.) My mom got it for me as a birthday present years ago. She thought it was the sort of thing I would like because I’m so obsessed with music. (She was right.)

I don’t know how it’s possible, but somehow it still works even though all its parts are original. And it actually seems to work pretty well. That little speaker sounds really good – perhaps because it’s sort of open baffle? (The radio is open in the back.) Every few years I turn it on and mess with it for a bit. I never leave it on for more than about 30 seconds though. I’m afraid the damn thing’s gonna catch on fire or something, lol.

Very nice, I love those Zenith dials from that era. Their logo was iconic. Do you see a model number anywhere isde the cabinet? I've got a book that could clarify the build year and whatnot. Shame to only fire it up for a little while. Those dials lit up so beautifully on the Zenith's.
