The Zenith 5-S-29 (5S29) is a very stylish tombstone radio from the 1936
season. It was introduced in the second half of 1935 with an initial selling
price of $39.95. However it seems to have been mostly advertised for sale
at prices higher than this, ranging up to a high of $44.95 West of the
Rockies.
The radio (chassis 5513) has the 5-tube line-up: 6A8/6A8G (mixer/LO),
6K7/6K7G (IF amp), 6B6 (2nd det/AVC/1st AF), 6F6/6F6G (AF power)
and 5Y3/5Z4 (rectifier). Coverage is from 535-1520kc, 1460-4550kc and
5800-18500kc. The schematic may be found here (courtesy NostaligiaAir).
