Zenith Model 807 Tombstone Radio (1935)
The Zenith 807 is an entry level five tube "small
white dial" set, introduced in July of 1934 as part
of the line-up for the 1935 model season. The
original list price was $39.95 in Eastern and
Central regions. The small white dial sets were
produced for 1935 only, as the next year saw the
debut of Zenith's "big black dial" models.
Frequency coverage is in two bands, 538-1550kc
(standard broadcast) and 5610-17850kc (short
wave). The tube line-up is:- 6A7 (mixer/LO), 6D6
(IF), 75 (2nd detector/AVC/1st AF), 42 (power
output) and 80 (rectifier). A simple two-point high-
frequency-cut type tone control is provided. The
