For the 1939 model year, Zenith eliminated the Robot Dial from
all radios using less than nine tubes. The 7-S-363 used an edge-lighted, metal dial but
did feature the cathode-ray tuning indicator so popular at the time. Introduced in 1939
was automatic electronic push-button tuning and the Radio Organ – Zenith’s tone compensation circuit
activated via slide switches. Zenith claimed that 64 combinations of tonal adjustment
could be achieved with the Radio Organ controls.
One of Zenith’s most beautiful cabinets. No faux wood finishes on this
model, the base construction is of maple with English and
American walnut, trimmed with quilted maple on the top and top
front sides, the top and bottom side inlays that wrap around to
the front are of Australian laurel and the two vertical bars on
the bottom are inlayed with Zebra wood.
Unrestored but working. The power electrolytics REALLY hum – the
radio needs a recap in order to play. The magic-eye tube doesn’t light,
but have another that will come with the radio. The cabinet has no delamination, and just needs a simple strip and re-varnish to make it really pop. Only missing pieces are the plastic markers that go above the switches. These dry out and fall off, but there are replacements available.
