THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Please read the entire description before contacting me to avoid any misrepresentation. One of the holy grail radios among radio collectors is the Robot/shutter dial 1938 Zenith Walton sets. Dubbed the Walton because this was the radio the Walton family listened to on the popular 1970s TV series. This radio features a nine-tube chassis with motorized tuning housed in a hand made cabinet to the dimensions of an original cabinet. It is not a factory made numbers matching 9S232. Again, the cabinet is a reproduction. The same chassis was used on the 9S262 console (which is where this chassis came out of) as well as the 9S232 Walton set. The power transformer is a replacement. Knobs are reproductions. The speaker is the correct size 8-inch field coil with the proper ohm value but is not from a Zenith. That said, the radio was serviced with new filter and paper caps. Resistors checked, new line cord, cabinet was finished using toners. New correct grille cloth and a bright green magic eye. Plays loud and strong on all bands with a long wire antenna. Motorized tuning works great as does the shutter dial mechanism.
