There is no record of how many of the WLW Model Super-Power Radio Receivers were built, but the first sale was made to Wheless Gambill — a Crosley distributor in Nashville, TN. Powel Crosley, Jr. certainly put one in his home and probably sent one to Eugene MacDonald at Zenith.
Probably had to jack up the floor from the basement to support all that hardwood, talk about a beautiful beast.
