Jeff,
That set looks mighty grim, but it could very well work. A friend brought me an old bakellite RCA with locktal tubes several years back. The case was broken in two places, the dial glass was smashed, and the insides was covered with a blanket of dust 1/4" thick! That's not an exaggeration... there really was so much dust that you could not see the chassis or any of the parts. They told me it worked, and I could hardly believe it, so I brought it home, plugged it in, and sure as shit, that radio played!
I took the chassis out to clean up. I was amazed at how well it cleaned up. It seems that the blanket of dust was so thick that it actually protected the chassis and components.
I still have it up in a closet and figured I'd come acoss a cabinet for it some day. if I find one, I'll have a good chassis for it.
Even if that Zenith doesn't work, it probably wont take much effort to get it going again.
I am a bit surprised it sold for nearly 15 dollars.
