Zenith ID help

I can pick this up for about $200. And clue if it is "quality sound" how many watts? I know it's up to my ears but......any input is appreciated. Thanks

You know that's mono right? Without paper work, probably need to see a shot looking down to see what kind of output tubes it uses to determine the watts.

Mono....I'm out....thanks

That's a console pull, and not worth that much. I'd go $50 max. Zenith, afaik, was not into high-powered audio amps like say, fisher.

Zenith actually did have some pretty good stuff. In the past, I have had the privilege of owning a couple of their mono 6L6 amplifiers.

I currently own a solid state Zenith stereo console that just has some incredible bass but only rated at 15 watts per channel.

It's easily worth that price if it comes with the incredible 12" Zenith 49CZ852 or 802 alnico full range speakers.

Hold on now! My son in law has that very receiver which he inherited from an uncle. It came in a beautiful MCM cabinet with a large cane grill over the speakers. I got the radio repaired for him and reinstalled it. True, it's mono, but sounds very nice. And the tuner just snatches all signals out of the air. It now resides in his dining room with some silverware displayed on top. A great unit for background music or listening to your favorite sports teams. I agree $200 is too much. Count on at least $100 in repair work. If cab is in good shape $50-75 would make it attractive to buy. And it may contain the speaker that Poulty mentioned above. I don't remember.

It is in the console with a gerard TT ...all is in VERY nice shape and works. I really dont have the space to keep it together and to be honest I was having bad feeling about pulling it apart. The TT book is there as well. anyone near Mt Clemens MI...its at a thrift shop 16 mile and Gratiot....great people there too. she has been known to drop $ for cash. if anyone grabs it let me know.

Is there any chance you could post a pic or two of the exterior? That might help it find a good home.
