Hi-Fi tube radios

[anden]

I've got a 1946 Zenith which has both the early (pre 1945 FM band) and the current 88-108. Every so often I pick up some really odd stuff on the 42-50 band. This Zenith is a realy nice sounding 8 tube radio with an RFstage, 2 IF stages. Zenith dropped the 42-50 band in 1948. The mid to late 1950's wood tabletop Zenith's are really nice sounding radios, many think they are the best sounding tabletops of the era having an 8 inch speaker plus a pair of electrostatic tweeters...models, Y832 & B835.
