Hi Folks:

At Brookline and Kutztown, I was able to see and hear a few. Artistically and technologically they are beautiful. Seeking opinions about any differences between the lower tube models and the 12S series from 1938 and beyond? A recent Radio Attic ad and other websites introduced me to the 12S265, 12S266, 12S267 and 12S471.

My goal is to own one of the best Zenith and one of the best Philco console radio's ever made. My focus is not solely on the highest price or rarity but the highest technical and sound quality.

My friend owns a Philco 690X and it knocked my socks off. I am looking for one or the more affordable option of hearing another one in a home setting closer to my geographic area (NYC / CT).

Any Zenith experts on this website, if you have a moment to share some brief comments on qualitative assessments, that would be appreciated as well as some ballpark figures for what a rational price would be restored lately for a high tube count Zenith like the ones I mentioned.

Best:
