It is FM Stereo Multiplex, and actually I was kind of surprised that it was tube powered because I had thought that by that point everyone went solid state on the big consoles.
The cabinet is kind of trashed as the grill cloth on the speakers is torn up and there are cigarette burn marks all over the top of the cabinet (which at first I thought it was bird poop because it was a curbside find that a friend of mine who knew the owners of the house that the stereo came out of told me about, but when I was cleaning it that's when I realized it was cigarette burn marks because they weren't going away with soap and water.)
Anyways I would like to know a little more about what I have here, it actually has the magnavox style slide cover top rather than the flip-top lid that Zenith usually used.
Its model number is ML2420-3 Chassis No. 3L02.
Thanks for your help.

I have one of those stereos with those output tubes. The tubes are good for about two watts at 140 volts B+. It has 6X9 speakers and a small hard cone tweeter.
Good stereo for use in an apartment, as it's not very powerful!
