Your Zenith will be a 78-rpm only record changer. There were later Cobra units built that can play 33 and 45 but the Cobra should only be used on mono records. The wider stylus will destroy stereo records.
Also, I have found that the Cobra cartridge works well for 78's but does not have the frequency response and stylus compliance for high fidelity reproduction of microgroove records.
We have replaced several Wurlitzer jukebox Cobra cartridges in 45 RPM machines with a magnetic cartridge/preamp and the sound quality is much improved.
