Well I tend to strongly lean to it being an export due to it's switchable 115-215 volt transformer. What's most curious is that in 5 years of looking, I've found no Zenith documents on it. In fact, it's hard to find info on Zenith exports...be it a 1930s,40s or 50s set. Recently I showed it to a guy who owns 140 Zeniths, and he made a pretty darn good offer on it, but I like the radio too much to let it go....really one of my favorites.
I did see a Ebay auction several years ago of a plastic cased model much like the early 50s Zenith AM/FM K731, but it was a AM/shortwave. Thats the only other set I've seen which comes close to mine. Where ever these shortwave tabletops were sold, not many were made in my opinion......you just don't see them out there !
