I THINK Zenith made Tooob-type Trans-Oceanics up til '62...They sold 'em that late, anyhow. The LAST tube-type radios made in this country very well may have been the 5-10 examples of my beloved R-390As produced in 1984-85 by an outfit called Fowler Industries to fulfill the specifications of a contract for some Naval ships that were originally designed in the late '50s. They were largely handbuilt, & cost Uncle Sugar around $30K EACH...Not only that, but they were surplussed out within 5 years.
