This one may be a "9H" - 9 tubes, adding the phono preamp.
Just knowing the number of tubes is a start - Zenith model numbers start with the number of tubes, then type (H = FM), then year (1946 is "0"), then then higher numbers are the higher models - so 8H034 is a table radio, 8H061 a console, and I suppose a chairside would be in between.

Thanks Tom ... knowing what to look for was a big help ... I found the Model # stenciled on the inside bottom edge of the cabinet ... 9H082R ... so I guess it's 1946 ... I took a picture the phono player ... I didn't see a speed adjustment switch ... so I assume it's 78 only ... does anyone know if the phono player is suppose to swing out for better access? ... there appears to be a handle for doing so, but I couldn't get the player to move and I didn't want to force it ...
