1938 Zenith Walton tube radio 9S232
1938 Zenith Walton tube radio 9S232
As you can see, I have 2 Nine Tube Waltons listed for sale.
This is a 1938 Zenith 9 tube Walton model 9S232, 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 beautiful lacquer finish and toned lacquer color trim. The grille cloth is a reproduction of the original 1938 pattern. The knobs are the original wood Zenith knobs, with the exception of the motor knob, it is a reproduction. 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. The radio has very nice reception with no hum. A brand-new NOS green eye tube,6E5 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. A new power cord was installed for safety. For you radio collectors, the speaker has the correct part number. All the other stamps are missing. An audio jack is installed so you can play anything you want.
