Zenith Walton 7-S-232 NOW FOR SALE! Serious inquiries only to
marydillon935@yahoo.com
The Walton radios,(so
named because of the fame this series received when one was used in the TV
series, "The Waltons") are among the most
popular among serious Zenith collectors. This is a Zenith 1938 Model 7-S-232,
a 7 tube "Walton". Other radios in the same style and therefore
also called "Waltons" are the 9-tube
9-S-232, the top of the line 12 tube 12-S-232 and the 7 tube AC/DC 7-J-232.
The 7-J-232 gets the least respect among collectors because it doesn't have
the "Eye" tube that indicates maximun
signal strength while tuning. The 9-S-232 and the 12-S-232 offer motorized
tuning. The 7-S-232 offers the "eye" tube but only flywheel tuning
and has surprising sensitivity. Electronically restored and playing as it
did when new, this set produces beautiful sound through its 8 inch Dynamic speaker. All non-elctronic
components are original except the grill cloth which is a nice exact
reproduction of the original used on this model. The cabinet has been
refinished with hand rubbed varnish and the set is nothing short of
spectacular.
