As I am new to the antique radio hobby I am curious about
some of the post I've read over several months. It seems like
a lot of people refer to Zenith as brand 'Z' kind of in a derogatory
manner. I always thought Zenith was one of the better brands
When growing up so is this a case of more hype than reality or simply
a matter where some people like Ford and some prefer Chevy? I thought
I would ask here to get responses from from the experts on the phorum
who have experience with multiple brands. Thanks
