Would you have any idea about this Zenith in the attached pic?
The model number appears to be something like: 5SA425F - but is not clear
I am in South Africa - so maybe the SA in the model number is the export country.
thanks
Russell

It's sometimes hard to pin down export models. Without a doubt, though, I can tell you that it was made somewhere in 1939-40. The US version of that is a 5F425.

5SA425F makes way too much sense to be the proper model number of a South Africa export 5F425.

OK. Let's have the serial number. I'll be able to get it down to one or two models based on that number and my Zenith 1937-1942 Export Service manual. I have seen that model on Ebay several times before.

I think it is model 5-S-642-BT. It is a export model for south American market.
