  • Notes
  • Zenith model 5-S-330 never existed.

    The Riders service information (Vol. 9) includes model 5-S-330 in a heading list as one of the models with chassis 5529.  The heading list does not include model 5-S-320, whereas the speaker data includes speakers for model 5-S-320, but not model 5-S-330.  

    Neither the Zenith book The Glory Years, nor the Collector's Guide to Antique Radios, 7th. edition lists the 5-S-330.  No actual 5-S-330 models have been discovered.

    It is likely that the Riders reference to model 5-S-330 in a heading list was simply a typographical error.   Any reference to model 5-S-330 should be assumed to be for model 5-S-320.
