In 1983, a previous owner wrote to Zenith asking what year the radio was made. The original letter (reply) from Zenith on Zenith stationary is lying in the battery compartment (this radio works on either 110V AC or batteries). The letter will go with the radio. If you're interested in this radio, please write to me including your first name & phone # & I will reply quickly. First come first sold to!
