Not only that, but the older Zeniths also sounded great and were built like tanks. I have six antique/vintage Zenith radios that will pull in stations from one end of the dial to the other, especially at night. My Zenith C845 eight-tube hi-fi table model from 1960 is very good in both respects, having a two-way speaker system (8-inch and five-inch) and an RF stage ahead of the antenna that works on both AM and FM. I wouldn't be surprised if your Zenith, and the console versions of the same receiver, sold very well in Wyoming where you are, as I'm sure there weren't that many local stations in that part of the country in the '40s. I would guess most of your area's radio reception was from Denver.
