Heading Into History With Your Zenith Record Player

Zenith Electronics has manufactured record players since 1918. If you're looking for a genuine Diamond Stylus Zenith record player, a Zenith turntable, or any other type, here are some tips on selecting affordable Zenith products from eBay. Let's begin with the different sizes, shapes, and capabilities from the company.

Your handy guide from tabletop 1960 Zenith record player models to floor model Zenith stereophonic high fidelity consoles

The basic unit is a Zenith solid-state record turntable, which contains a stylus, tonearm, and all controls. From there, you may branch out to a larger unit. A larger unit contains large speakers included in the Zenith record player cabinet. You can choose to place the cabinet either on a table or on the floor. Consider a larger Zenith record player console for the full furniture look of maple, oak, or cherry wood.

The condition of vintage 1962 Zenith record players

Like any other vintage item, standard criteria for condition apply:

  • "Excellent" means that all parts, such as the turntable, cover, and cord, are present. All controls work as they should, and the exterior doesn't have any dings or scratches. If the player resides in a wooden console, then the wood remains unscratched and displays a sheen.
  • "Fine" means that normal use left some scratches or dents and that you may wish to grease the tonearm, dials, and turntable belt to enable smooth operation. If the scratches or dents are in the console, then the wood may show a crack or two or need buffing.
  • "Good" means that your Zenith record player shows greater wear and tear. The cover may be missing and the needle may need replacing. The console may need its scratches filled and a leg or two replaced.
  • "As is" or "fair condition" means that all electrical connections work, but that the dials, turntable, or speakers may need replacement. Usable parts in an "as is" player may give life to other projects of similar vintage.
