That's a sweet sounding chassis. I just restored one like it (different cabinet style) last year. I re-capped it, replaced an open resistor, and it came to life.

It has terminals to adjust the bias on the outputs (use a VTVM and adjust for zero voltage). Mine wouldn't quite get to zero, and the B+ was running high.....I replaced all 4 output tubes and brought everything back into line.

Those Zenith's are an oddity, with a stereo amp but a mono FM tuner. I think the '62 models came out with a stereo tuner. I have a tablet hooked to the aux input on mine and use it to stream music, so that's in stereo. The tuners in that model may not be stereo, but they do work very well, and have excellent sensitivity.
