For this ongoing Fall 2024 Fund Drive, we are proudly featuring two rare antique radios, kindly provided and restored by the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS). These lovely finds are available as gifts for matching donations in support of KPFA’s fundraising efforts for a limited time only!
This sophisticated Art Deco Zenith radio console from 1939 was once the proud entertainment center for a family, where they gathered to enjoy music, radio dramas, and historical broadcasts like FDR’s December 7th address to the nation. With its original finish—a rare feature for a radio over 80 years old—this radio not only offers a glimpse into the past but stands as a testament to Zenith’s craftsmanship. Its rich, elegant walnut cabinet and innovative features like the Radiorgan tone control brought both aesthetic beauty and superior sound into the home, making it a centerpiece for family life and national moments alike. This piece has been electronically restored and equipped with Bluetooth capability. It would make a grand living room addition to a fine connoisseur of its classic console design.
To take this refined one-of-a-kind radio home, please Donate Today.
