How long did Zenith use PTOs in table radios?

How long did Zenith use PTOs (permeability tuned oscillators) in their radios? I have three such radios with just this type of tuning system (no variable capacitor for FM, but there is a small variable cap for AM). I read here in VK that the company was using PTOs as late as the K-731 series in the late '50s until about 1965.
