I thought the radio king was the top of the line.
It looks like the Sound King was a more expensive drum ($95 to $90)

Radio kings didn't exist in this time frame.

Well, Slingerland themselves called it Radio King in the catalog, so ....
My understanding is that Radio King snare drums earned that name because they used the Radio King strainer and brackets, and NOT because they were made of a solid piece of wood or any other reason. That would explain the name given to this snare drum in the catalog.
Looks like the Zoomatic strainer was considered the top of the line by this point.
