Zenith Model 5-R-226, 1938.  5 tubes, tunes American broadcasts, 5" speaker, kilocycle coverage (540-1, 752 K.C.).  Don't let this set fool you.  It's not a console, but a 17-inch tall table model made for kids!  The rare 1938 full-sized booklet brochure describes this set as "a miniature console just like dad's--a fine radio, made especially for children."  This is a rare set and hard to find today.  I bet the kids really trashed them!  Price: $25.95.
