Their stereo consoles of the 1960s represent the high-water mark of the American console format — walnut cabinets crafted to furniture-grade standards housing serious hi-fi electronics, designed to be the centerpiece of the living room. Zenith consoles appear regularly at MCM auctions and on 1stDibs and Chairish, where working examples with intact cabinets sell $400–$1,500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecantilever doors\u003c\/strong\u003e on this example are a notably sophisticated design touch — doors engineered to swing and lift simultaneously, providing full speaker access while maintaining clean lines when closed. This level of mechanical ingenuity in a production console is uncommon and adds to the piece's appeal for knowledgeable collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zenith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54\" W × 17\" D × 25\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantilever speaker doors (unusual), AM\/FM radio and amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e No turntable — console electronics only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e American MCM, c.1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e See photos; electronics untested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo turntable included or present.
