Actually, what you see in the larger photo is three different versions of the "845" 8-tube style. The H845 (lower left) has an illuminated dial. A C845 sits on the upper right and in the middle is an X337. All similar, but different.

I also have another which is stashed behind the X337, but the bottom tag is missing. It looks to have a factory 'flex' handle -color matches- mounted to the top of the cabinet, and the chassis is completely different; with a kink in the front and the speaker mounted to it, like the older (bakelite) K725. I've tried to figure out the production scheme, but Zenith made so many of these things it is nearly impossible to find out exactly what and when. I'd love to find a resource with model numbers and dates (perhaps a complete SAMS?) but until then, many of these radios are a guessing game.

You're right though; they sound great!
