My Zenith C845 (the same as the radio in my avatar) also pulls in FM stations from great distances (I live about 80 miles from the Pennsylvania line and regularly hear FM stations, but no AMs, from the Erie area), also using only the line cord antenna. The radio sounds great as well, but that doesn't surprise me a bit; after all, all Zeniths of that period (1940s-'60s) were built for DX (distance reception) and high fidelity sound. I wonder if KLH got the idea for the Model Twenty One from Zenith's 800 series of hi-fi radios of the 1950s and early sixties, or vice-versa.
