Zenith Plastic. J615
I picked this up yesterday. A Zenith J615 table radio. Working perfectly. Great sound for its size, and picks up stations quite well.

AA6 type live chassis. Make sure the power light above the volume control works! A very nice radio. Phono jack in the rear?

Light works. Jack in the rear. I have found out that it is actually an R615.

So what should a J615 have? The stamp on mine is nearly rubbed off, but I think it says “J615Y”. It is black with no brass trim, no Conelrad markings but it does have a handle that is similar to an expandable watch band. Is it not correct for this model to have a handle?

Thanks ! My handle is indeed like the upper example, but is black to match the cabinet color.

My handle is correct, but it is likely that someone removed the brass trim on my black 615 before I got it years ago.

I can't see any evidence that trim was glued on. Whoever removed it did a great job, or perhaps Zenith offered a trim delete version... like say a hotel model or something like that.

My J615 - in white IMG_3568.JPG has the same handle as WiscoJim's. These DO sound great with good bass, especially considering the atypical speaker "grille"
