That's a good idea to make a copy of the instructions.

Thank you.

This is a nice little set, made by Belmont for Zenith.

Interesting. I didn't realize the concept of outsourcing went back as far as the early 1930s. I always thought Zenith made all its own radios.

BTW, I Googled "Zenith 701" a few minutes ago, looking for information on this radio. I got back several pages of links and information in regard to the Zenith Aircraft Corporation, but nothing regarding the radio we are discussing here. I didn't realize there was an aircraft company using that name. Always thought "Zenith" was a copyrighted trademark of the Zenith Radio Corporation of Chicago. If the word is not or was not in fact a copyrighted trademark or service mark of the ZRC, how many other American companies used the name Zenith before that company went out of business in the US and outsourced to Korea in the late '80s-'90s?
