Another cost-cutting feature was the lack of a tweeter speaker, as was used in the early '60s Zenith radios; at least I didn't see a separate tweeter in this one. The large pulley driving the dial cord is in the position where I would have expected to see such a speaker. The only thing I can think of that would have prompted Zenith to design these late '60s radios without tweeters is the solid-state design; the audio output transistor may not have been powerful enough to drive the main speaker and a tweeter as well. The earlier Zeniths with tweeters (K731, C845, et al.) drove them directly from the plate of the audio output tube.
