Click the picture to see more of the Zenith x390W Radio.
Today I found a new toy. Whenever the opportunity comes my way, I like to collect old radios. Here is another one for my collection.
The radio is a Zenith Long Distance Radio, model X390W. I think the “W” stands for “wood”, as there is also a X390 model that looks like it has a plastic case. This radio WORKS! And it “glows in the dark” like all good radios do. The radio seems to be in pretty good shape except for a label on the bottom of the wood case. It looks like it was scrubbed partially away. The Zenith X390W is and AM and FM radio that has a nice clock, and alarm function. Click on the picture to see more.

Hi John
I also have a X390W, but the clock light does not come on, is this an easy fix?
Is there a way to reference where the radio was sold through the serial number?
Mostly I have vintage Grundig table sets and some Saba, but some old Zenith’s too.

Hi Joe,
Sorry, I have no idea how to fix the light; and don’t know about how to find where it was sold. I am a, very much amateur, collector. I don’t actively look to purchase old radios, but when they come along I like to pick them up to adorn my shelf. Therefore, I am not one to give much advice.

Sorry, I have no idea. I am a very amateur collector; and I purchase some radios when I see them at garage sales and such. I know nothing about the value of them and have never searched it out. I’m sure if you do an Internet search, you will come up with some good information.
