A machine-age radio for the home: Zenith 5-R-135
The Zenith 5-R-135 shows how Art Deco styling gave a household radio the presence of a piece of furniture: its carefully finished wooden cabinet framed an everyday listening device as a designed object.
- What and when: A tombstone-style tube radio, identified as a 1937 model and introduced in late 1936.[1][2]
- Who and where: Made by Zenith Radio Corp. in Chicago, Illinois.[3]
- Material and formal details: Its cabinet used figured walnut with a hand-polished, satiny finish. The front grille has vertical wooden slats, and a round dial sits below the speaker section.[4][5]
- What the design suggests: The tapered, tombstone-shaped cabinet and carefully finished walnut suggest an ambition to make new household technology fit domestic interiors and reward close attention to its craftsmanship.[6][7]
- Price and affordability: Tube Radio Land calls it an entry-level model and gives a selling price of $29.95; this evidence does not establish who it was intended for or whether it was affordable.[8]
