These 7 & 8 tube Zeniths are indeed great.....starting in about 1955 they included electrostatic tweeters on either side of a 8 inch main speaker providing fantastic audio. Zenith changed to a 5 x 7 inch oval speaker with one electrostatic in about 1958......still sounded great.
Many folks think they date to the early fifties due to the last patent date being 1951, but they're later...the y832 & B835's are 1955-56 and the G730 is 1958. Then the popular K731 is about 1963.
Zenith really ended the era of tube radios with a bang ! I bought three today at a radio show - a H845 for $10, a K725 for $20 and a neat tube portable for $ 8. All work ! It was a good day.
