I think the 3000 came along somewhere around '61 and was discontinued in '68, in favor of the 7000 models.
In '89, I bought a mint 3000 from a ham who was giving up the hobby and moving into an assisted living home. The $35 I gave him seemed like a lot to a 12 year old at the time; but, I now realize that was a bargain. For some stupid reason, I ended up selling that radio and I've kicked myself several times for doing that.
Concerning Zenith foreign made radios, I know they were being made as early as '72 because I have a '72 AM/FM clock radio that was made in Korea. It's an OK radio; but, it is no where near as good as the USA built Zenith's of just a few years before.
