This is a 1938 Zenith 12 tube Walton model 12S232, Zenith’s most famous and collectable year. It is sporting the fabulous “Motor Drive Robot Shutter Dial” and green tuning eye. The large black dial is in very nice shape. The cabinets’ book matched walnut veneer is beautifully restored with a flawless lacquer finish and toned lacquer color trim. The grille cloth is a reproduction of original pattern. The knobs are the original wood Zenith knobs, no reproductions here. The Superheterodyne chassis is a performer and plays full dial scale, loud and clear. The radio has had a complete recap electronic restoration - all the electrolytic caps were replaced with new production parts. All the paper foil capacitors were replaced as well. The dial belts are new for smooth motor operation and tuning. As you see from the pictures the chassis is clean and rust fee. The radio has very nice reception with no hum. A brand-new NOS green eye tube was installed to dress up its playing appearance. An outside antenna is necessary on old tube radios or a long wire. But it also plays perfectly on a short lead wire as well. I have installed antenna wire in the cabinet to help with reception. A new power cord was installed for safety. For you radio collectors this radio does have all the matching number stamps on the chassis, speaker or cabinet. But are hard to see and read. But if you want a Walton, and you want a 12 tuber and you do not care about numbers… Here it is… Every detail was reproduced to keep the original look. An audio jack is installed so you can play anything you want.
