Zenith
Model 9-S-232 (Walton), 1938.
This is the 9-tube version of the radio made famous
by the 1970’s, The Walton’s television series. It
features a 6T5 green tuning eye, tunes 540kc-18.4mc,
motorized electronic automatic tuning with station silencer,
robot dial (shutterdial) and many other features. It
should be noted that Zenith never used the term "Shutterdial"
to describe the sliding metal plates that select the various
bands. This term seems to be the invention of Zenith
radio collectors! Zenith did first use the term
"Robot-dial" in marketing the 1938 radio
line. The 7, 9
and most elusive 12-tube versions have become much sought
after by radio collectors around the world. In 1938 this set
was priced at $89.95. |
