• Notes

• Export model for the European market (50 Hz/220V). Also included a SW band.  Otherwise this model is essentially identical in appearance to the other "Owl" models produced during this period.  It is most similar in appearance to the J616 and K518 series, having three knobs on the clock and "Zenith DeLuxe" and the Zenith crest on the front.  Note that the weight is heavier than the USA models presumably due to the addtion of a large transformer.
