Literature for 1960's era Zenith Table Radios

[anden]

Surprising to hear about the MJ-1035's less then great sound quality, seeing that it looks like they sold pretty well. $200. was a lot of money in 1962 and the higher the price, the more critical the consumer usually is. It's one of the few 1955-65 Zenith models I don't have. One of my best sounding set's is a rare AM/Shortwave export model that came in the Y832 cabinet - it's a transformer set, not AC/DC like all the other tabletop Zeniths - 8 inch main speaker & a pair of 3 inch cone tweeters - no electrostatics like all the other 7 and 8 tube models. The audio is great but unfortunately no FM, though it does pick up Polka dance music out of Eastern Europe ! !
