Forum rules
The following requirements must be followed when advertising personal antique radio / TV / audio / phono items (such as discussed in the forums here) for sale in the classifieds forum::
- Titles must START with : FS (for sale) or WTB (want to buy) or Trade or Free at the beginning of the title..
- FS posts must have an "asking" price and offers may be sent by PM. Are you parting something out? ... price each major part (not things like screws and nuts)
- There must be a location somewhere in the ad or the members profile (City & State or Zip Code are the minimum requirement).
- Ads are limited to two per day, and may not be bumped sooner than 7 days after the last post to the thread.
- No outside sales links are allowed other than to pictures of actual items being sold. No links allowed to eBay, Craigslist etc.
- This is NOT a discussion forum. If you're not buying or supplying or suggesting a relevant solution, don't post - send a Private Message. Comments on pricing will be deleted.
- First to post to an item for sale stating "I WILL TAKE IT" it is first in line. Subsequent claims will be followed in the order they are posted. Claims to "Take it" can be conditional on unknowns such as shipping costs.
- Any "PM sent" posts without posting a reason for the PM will be deleted as they are meaningless to anyone else reading the thread.
- Once a deal is made, edit the title to say so and the thread will be locked
If your thread or post disappears - read the rules again - no warnings or explanations will be given when threads or posts are deleted.

Looking for a Zenith Walton to add to my collection. I would like to find either a 12-S-232 or 7-J-232 in good condition with the correct speaker and "matching numbers"
Please E-mail or PM with price, location and condition.
TIA,
Terry

Would want proof that the 1204 chassis is ORIGINAL 12S-232
The Stamp is under his restoration Tag and the cardboard Tag with ID looks to have been removed.
Cabinet has correct Tag on Bottom , if not repro.
I was hoodwinked by the chassis restorer a year ago. NOT what he said.
Get proof before spending $5K

The speaker appears correct and is very different than the 7 or 9 tube models and unique to the 12 tube Walton. That tells me this is not a Frankenradio, ie a 12 tube console chassis stuffed into a Walton cabinet.

The listing says the finish is original. Perhaps I'm completely wrong, but the photos make it look like the cabinet has 20+ coats of lacquer. Did original factory finishes have that amount of depth and gloss?

Ditto..not bad, looks good, but not an original finish. How do I know? I have one with a great original finish. BTW, the original was a high semi gloss. Just so you satin guys notice.
