ok a bit too far, for me I do get up to Columbus GA now and then, but that is still a good 60 miles at least IIRC.
I agree its prob a switch/breaker or open thermistor. All easy fixes, but there maybe a reason for the failure, which would be shorted filter caps. Hopefully someone here is a bit closer can get with you and check it out. It could be a very siimple problem (like the cord). Zeniths were the best built sets and the one you have is built like a tank.
actually the fact that the filaments are not lighting up means it pretty much has to be the switch or plug. a simple resistance reading of the plug would confirm its open. you could then manipulate the plug (the prongs and the connection at the set) and also jump the switch with a simple jumper from radio shack (just a wire and some clips). all unpluged of course you just want to see if you can get conitinuity across the primary of the transformer. the breaker and the thermistor are on the secondary not associated with the filament windings so I am pretty sure its got to be the switch
