OK its time for another of our now Famous "Group
Pictures".
This time the radios choosen are much rarer than plain old
Walton
Radios. These radios are what Zenith called "Boat and Trailer
Radios"
They were sold in 1937. They were 6 volt powered by an Auto type battery. So take a look at the radio and its matching speaker.
Then
think about... Just what sort of "Boat" or "Trailer" one would need to have such a radio on board? .... Ah... Yacht... is more
like it... Or a Rather Large type "Camping Trailer" perhaps?
Well in
1937 There were I imagine not too many of those floating about? ...
Total
production of this Zenith model 6B107 radio and matching speaker was 1000 Units as per the Bryant and Cones book. Where the
Walton
radios production was in the 35,000 or so range. The revered Zenith Stratosphere 1000Z had a production total of 350 units.
So
this lowly "Boat and Trailer" radio only had three times that
number produced. Today folks you see before your eyes.. FOUR... yes
FOUR
of those radios complete with their speakers.
Guaranteed the last time that FOUR of these radios were
together
in one place WAS in 1937 ON the assembly line at Zenith.
So I only ask One Question... if you happen to Have or Have
Seen
one of these radios elsewhere... please send us an email... At
a guess
I think there are probably less than 50 of these out of the total
1000
production
that still survive in collections throughout the world. At
this time I only know of two others.. other than these FOUR radios.... Presenting Zenith 6B107 Boat and Trailer
Radios

The radio on the right I am keeping for my own collection. The
unusual
light maple Z-knobs are found on the
Ivory Zenith radios. I am missing one so if you have one in your
knob
box please an email.
