Check the discussion site for transistor radios. There is a link to a site that has a number of the child radios. I think that was the term for these. Looked at it one time but do not remember the Zenith on it so maybe you've got an addition for the webmaster.

Crystal radios still have a following and I think it is slowing gaining in popularity as a niche. Finding kits was almost impossible about 10 years ago but they are now available. Vintage crystal sets cna fetch more than some are paying for stereo components. The thrill of hearing something 20-30 miles away can still be there for us oldies. Recently, I started to listen to AM much more and have a crystal kit that I'll put together this summer as a starter project.
