This is a Zenith 4-B-422 6 volt battery set. Does anyone know of other
Zenith sets that use this cabinet? The chassis was obviously built for a
5th tube, so likely an AC/DC version existed (5-D-xxx). The cabinet is way
to nice to use for ONLY a 6 volt set! Thanks! Dave.

That is one pretty radio !

I love farm sets.

Farm radios should be preserved for what they are.

Love the "on" flag on the dial.

Dave, your post caused me to go on a hunt of a set that's been on my
shelf for a long time. The set looks like yours but the back inside
label is a Chassis 5420 1.5 volt set. However inside the radio is a 5528
chassis which is a transformer set with push buttons used in sets like
the Pancake 5R312. Another thing that was not right was the Zenith
Oracle listed it as an AC-DC(Chassis with 60hz Phono) which makes no
sense so it must be a typo. One thing that didn't look right to me with
this set is you could see 2 screws at the bottom of the dial which you
won't see when it;s in the right cabinet. I kept thinking to myself this
can't be right and tonight when I took it apart it all makes sense.

To be a little more clear on this the 5528 chassis fits but the push
buttons are hidden and you would never know they are there. Kind of a
waste but it does work. There must be an AC (or AC-DC)set that uses that
cabinet I guess but I couldn't find it on the Radio Attic.

I have one but the dial opening in the case is a bit more rounded and it
has a hammer gold AC DC chassis in it . It is where i cant get at it
easy right now . No push buttons inside or out .

Just looking for a replacement/reproduction back cover. The more models I
know of, the more likely to find a cover. I am not looking to replace the
chassis! I collect farm radios.

Mine has the back. It states for model Chassis 5420. I could take a
picture of it,too big for the scanner.

That would be great! Can you post the picture on the binaries?
