Absolutely. I've got that RCA in the garage, and it sounds fantastic. They're a surprisingly good performer on FM. Next to a Magnavox stereo table model I restored last year, it's the best sounding solid state radio I've came across.
The audio output circuit in the Zenith H845 is nothing special (except for the tone control circuit), and the FM tuner section is a bear to get aligned correctly, but when all is said and done they sound great. I think what helps is the combination of 2 quality speakers and the thick, wood cabinet.
I've got two of the H845's. One is a mint condition all original, and the other is one I restored to use at the office. It's been used all day, 5 days a week, since I restored it about 4 years ago. I started having some FM drift issues last month; a weak 19T8 was the culprit.
