About the Item

Zenith's founder, Lieutenant Commander Eugene F. McDonald, was a great admirer of advanced technological development and believed that his company's products should include the latest, most practical advances in a well-built product that continued to enhance the company's reputation. Of the many products of Zenith Radio, the 'Trans-Oceanic' series of portable radios were among the most famous. McDonald was a keen yachtsman and outdoorsman and wished for a portable radio that would provide entertainment broadcasts as well as being able to tune into weather, marine and international shortwave stations. He asked his company's engineers to develop prototypes to meet his criteria and by 1940 they had concept sets that were ready for production. Zenith TransOceanic Model 5H40 debuted in 1951 Superhet with RF-stage; ZF/IF 455 kHz Wave bands Broadcast plus more than 2 Short Wave bands.
