Few consoles capture the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic quite like Zenith’s Louvered Door consoles. We’ve restored several over time and always admire the timeless elegance of these designs. Though not particularly rare due to their long production run, a well-preserved example remains a true statement piece.

Over roughly a decade of production, Zenith continually refined its models while maintaining the signature look and feel—wider, deeper cabinets, with or without open-reel tape decks, and Danish or Modern-style bases.

We currently have three different cabinets, including two of the larger Y960s. One is a YT960, displayed unrestored at Vintage Source‘s showroom. Unfortunately, its lifting R2R tape deck was removed long before it came to us, so we’ll repurpose the space as a storage cubby. The third console is a more compact model that keeps the same overall aesthetic.
