Zenith Royal 500, Serial Number 331902, Long Distance Tubeless-All- Transistor, Circa 1957, Made in USA.
Royal 500 is the first transistor radio made by Zenith and launched to market at the end of 1955. This one belongs to the 500D series, so designated by serious Zenith collectors, because Zenith added a wideband RF amplifier to the 7 transistor circuit to make a 8-transistor radio, that was designated and labeled as "LONG DISTANCE". It has Chassis 8AT40Z2 and red dot.
