The Pillard radio-phonograph housed in the Zenith Long Distance cabinet is an exceptionally rare and unique combination. Only a handful of these units have survived, making it nearly impossible to find another like it.
For its time, this model was remarkably modern, featuring a polished ashwood cabinet that concealed cutting-edge technology. Equipped with the latest high-performance vacuum tubes and a large speaker, it delivered outstanding reception across both short and long distances—true to its name. Complementing the radio is the premium Pillard electric gramophone, a brand renowned for its commitment to innovation, design, and top-tier quality, particularly during the transition from mechanical to electric turntables.
This particular piece remains in its original, well-preserved condition and is fully functional, making it a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
