Another great Zenith, which I just bought is the C835. It is the last example of the 8 tube big airplane dial sets with wood a cabinet....the Y832, B835, C835 series. The C835 has only one electrostatic tweeter, where the Y832 & B835 has two. It also has the same knobs as the later C845 and H845 and I think it must have been introduced right before the 845's.....maybe 1958?
As stated, there's no way to go wrong with these 8 tube set's - the sound is fantastic.
I have all five (Y832,B835,C835,H845, plus a scarce AM/shortwave model which looks just like a Y832) lined up on a shelf and when they're tuned to the same station at the same time, the audio is amazing !
Prices are still low on these, $15.-$45.....you get a lot of radio for the money!
Something tells me that when the postwar Zenith book is published, the prices are going to go up, so grab yourself one !
