Repeating what others have said.....these 7 and 8 tube Zenith's with AFC produced from 1955-67 were so nice. What make them enjoyable is, they were a medium sized unit at about 15 inches wide & about 10 lbs. but they performed like a bigger radio. Zenith quality was A1 !
They stop me in my tracks when ever I see one at a radio swap, flea market or yard sale...if priced right, I end up bringing it home. The collection is starting to get out of hand - the family includes..Y832, H835, C835, C845, H845,C730,C735, K731 and about 20 of the smaller Zenith's from the 50s & 60s. Recently I've become interested in the top shelf solid state AM/FM models from 1968-71 with the acoustic suspension loudspeaker & wood cabinets. Yes, they are transistorized, but are very nice radio's with impressive audio, and as it turns out, were among the last of the Chicago made Zeniths ! (these can be found for very low prices still....$5., $10.)
Time to get another bookshelf for all these !
