I can tell you this as I'm working on a 39 Zenith 9-S-367 right now. The cheapest Philco console has a much better built cabinet. The top of a discount Philco console has a 1/2" piece of hardwood, the Z is a 1/18" piece of plywood... but it is a cool looking cabinet.

IMHO: from what I've seen, the Philco is a better radio. But the Robot Dial Zeniths are just too "cool" so a guy or gal ought to have one.

Or put in another way, the Z's are great to look at, but the P's are great to listen to.
