Late 1952 or so, Admiral and Motorola started building AA5 radios. Following them Philco, GE, Emerson started that trend.
In my collection, I have a few Westinghouse radios that use a moulded bakelite chassis similar to the early 40's Zenith radios that were a flop!
I have a 1956 Zenith clock radio that uses a PC board. Zenith only made two years of tube radios that used PC boards. It seems they had too much trouble with the boards, because of the heat.
