Very fine collection. I saw quite a few Zenith sets in the pictures, which leads me to believe you must like Zenith radios.

I have a bunch of old radios, mostly Zeniths with a couple of Sony portables and one 11-transistor Aiwa portable, in my small apartment. Just picked up a Sony 60-disc CD/AM/FM/cassette stereo (150 wpc[!]) from the trash the other day; wondering if I'll have the room for it when/if I get it working (it's presently sitting atop two large plastic containers in my bedroom, with the speakers one atop the other next to my amateur radio installation). I think I've reached my limit, though, even though all of my radios are portables/table models. One can fit only so many radios in a one-bedroom apartment before getting squeezed out.

BTW, I like that Arvin radio (model 540T, IIRC, four tubes and used an external wire antenna) in the first pic of your collection. My aunt and uncle had one almost exactly like that one, only theirs was in a green metal cabinet.

Zenith. Gone, but not forgotten.
