It still works, and receives broadcast AM, "microstatic FM reception," and two shortwave bands all in an attractive spinet cabinet. But there's a but: it "smokes when you turn it on." (Who doesn't tbh?)
Take a look at this beauty ... and imagine cranking up the Glenn Miller... 
It's currently sitting in a bar on Avenue C while looking for a new home... drop us a line if you have a (serious) interest...
Found this...

Wow. What a piece of history.
I remember my parents had one of those Zenieth tv’s made of wood, looked liked a dresser. One sode had storage, the middle was the tv and the right side was a record player. Took up an entire wall and it was heavy.
Wow, that's a beauty! I hope it finds a loving home.
The video brought back some musical memories LOL.
Very cool Ms Joy - I hope someone can bring some much needed life back to this classic piece
I have an amplifier repair shop on 8th between C and D called Pete’s Amp Repair, petesamprepair.com.I’m interested in taking this. Let me know how to contact the super at the building to pick up.

We had a huge Magnavox console in our house. Right side was a fancy radio & the left side was a pull-out drawer turntable. It's also how I learned how to remove the tubes, take them to the tester in the hardware store & buy a replacement.
Honestly I would, but don't need another one...
That’s just the sound system I need for my Betamax.
I think it is so thoughtful that the super is trying to find someone who will appreciate it!!!
Please Keep us posted, I hope you’re able to restore this beauty!!😉🍀👍
That was my radio, I had to put it on the street when i was kicked out of my apartment after 20 years on E.8th St in 2014. It still worked by then when I put it out. I'm glad someone grabbed it and saved it, it's very cool.
Has someone gotten in touch with Pete Margolis (up-thread) about him getting this?

Yes! We've been in touch with Pete
