Nolan, Chad, and Jeff thank you for all the information
I know a lot more, than I knew before, about my old radio! The warning about the chassis is very handy, since I do tend to mess with things if they stop working...fortunately the radio has been working fine ever since I obtained it and I just listen to it...
It's funny I was wondering about the "W" if it meant Walnut finish and Nolan was thinking along the same lines.
I take it you all listen to your radios and don't just collect them to look at? I have a friend who collects vintage radios because he thinks they look cool, but he says a lot of them don't work. I'll let him know about this site, maybe with the information here he can get some of those cool looking radios to work!
I think I was drawn to my old Zenith because it was made of real wood and it had a full sound with tone control! There is a little suspense when you turn one on too...as the tubes are warming up I often wonder is it still working? Ah yes, it still works!
-Jon
