Yeah, Those Zenith AM/FM radios are some of the best out there in terms of sound and quality, always point to point wiring and a metal chassis. They made the same basic chassis from the early 50s to the end of tubes. With the addition of an AFC for the FM in the mid 50s. I have one of the earlier ones from the 50s, my first old radio, had it for years and it works great, I use it almost every day. I'm still amazed at how good the tuning and sound is on it. I believe many of these sets had two electrostatic tweeters to compliment the huge main speaker.

Enjoy!
