VIEW-MASTER, The Waltons, 1972. Why have
the Zenith 7-S-232, 9-S-232 and 12-S-232's soared in
value? The radio was randomly selected as the family
set for The Waltons television series (1972-1981). The
original radio used on the show can be seen at The Walton's
Mountain Museum located in the old Schuyler Elementary
School, in Schuyler, Va. The radio is on loan from
the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. After
carefully studying the knobs on this radio from publicity
photos, I don't believe it had all of the original wooden "Z" knobs. The
radio does not have the original Zenith "S-swirled" grille
cloth, but a generic burlap type substitution. I
am currently seeking closer pictures of the radio knobs
and the chassis so I can determine which model "232" was
used on the show.
