Jeff, thanks for the info - I've recently been on a 1950's -60's Zenith jag. Another interesting aspect to the these Zeniths is their point to point hand wired chassis. Many other makers had adapted the printed ciruit boards which were trouble prone. I also have a K731 (legged version). Do you know what the cost of a K731 was back in 1963? I do know that the H845 went for $129. which was a good chuck ofd money back then.
Some kind of flash-back has inspired my recent interest.....Back in 1973 when I was 12, I inherited my grandmothers H845. I remember my friends being very impressed at the sound it produced...after all most of us kids only had little Radio Shack radios and had not experienced the World of Zenith yet. Only a big German set can out perform them, but these ran up to $300.
It's nice that prices are generally low - but they are one the rise.
