IIRC the G-500 is the rarest of all post war TO's, it was only produced as a 1950 model. Basically it's got the H-500 chassis that uses the 1L6 but it's cabinet looks very similar to the previous 8G005 which used the loktals. It was immediately superceeded by the H-500 series that is the most common one. A point I find interesting is that Zenith introduced the solid state 1000 series in 1958 and also built the tubed 600 series until 1962. I have ads from National Geographic that show both radios side by side.
