I have a Zenith H511-Y (black bakelite cabinet) that still works -- well, sort of. I live near Lake Erie (within a mile of the south shore), so the set gets WJR in Detroit and probably CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, but it's not so good on Cleveland stations. I can only hear one such station, 50kW WTAM 1100, during the day most of the time, but at night the dial lights up with stations up and down the East Coast and the Great Lakes region.
I replaced the crumbling, dry-rotted power cord with a fresh one I salvaged from an RF modulator. I probably should eventually replace the 3-section power supply filter capacitor as well, although the set isn't humming (at least not loud enough that I can hear it) at the moment. This radio was an eBay score about ten years ago and is one of my favorite sets in my collection, next to my 1980 Zenith "Royal 70" 11-transistor AM-FM portable and my 1958 TransOceanic solid-state AM/SW set. I am baffled, however, as to why one antique radio site on the Internet shows the Royal 70's chassis number as 7ZT49, when the radio obviously has eleven transistors.
BTW, I am only 56 years old, so wasn't around during the Great Depression of the 1930s, but somehow I can't imagine Walgreens being in business anywhere in the US at that time (unless the stores were operating under another name). I think the first Walgreens stores opened in the late 1960s or seventies.
