I think Zenith's very last tube radio was a cheapie plastic AM/FM from the "Z" model line, which would be '69. IMHO, postwar Zenith AM/FM sets are about the best performing FM radios built in the USA. Even the early Zenith SS table radios are good performers. That all changed when Zenith shifted radio production to Korea.

I second that on Zenith quality. They resisted circuit boards well into the SS era. I am mainly a stereophile from the AK site, but I just love post-war AM/FM radios, especially Zeniths and stereo radios. They sound so good compared the Asian mass-market crap thats available today. Even the plastic-cased models.
