I hit the jack pot Friday when I found this zenith Walton on craigs list and was first to respond , picked it up 1 hour later. This is my first Walton and was happy to get so cheap ,150$ what a bargain. It does need a lot of work , but that's ok its not like I never restored a radio before. It,s a 7j232 which is the baby of the Walton line up, what I have read is it also is the rarest , but the least desirable , 12 volt and 110v.No eye tube, I still am very happy to get one that cost so little. Cabinet is good shape , shouldn't be a problem but the chassis has rust and the dial is roached out, I will completely repaint chassis and redo the outer dial with the decals from radio daze, ive done em before. Speaker will be re coned and new 12v cables. ect. Henry Harmony a good friend found a Walton 9s232 for 50$ last month at antique shop . Hard to find a Walton for these kind of prices, it does happen but is rare, My biggest find was my PHILCO 23x, for the amazing sum of 75$ all complete. Now that is rarer than any Walton I can tell ya that . I will post more pictures as time goes bye for updates on restoration of the Walton. Good night from the Big state of TEXAS.
