This radio can be found in Sams Photofact folder 653-12. I'd be glad to make copies... but I don't have it. There are a number of online sources for a copy (maybe $5), and many libraries have them - your local branch can probably get it for the cost of copies.

Zenith was using mostly film and ceramic caps by 1963, but there may be a few striped "black beauty" caps - change 'em! The can is a multi-section cap - you can disconnect it and replace with separate caps under chassis. The selenium rectifier is the square finned item to the left in the rear picture - good to change it too. The line cord clamp is used to couple to it as an FM antenna - can't compare to an external one. New line cords are available from Antique Electronic supply, probably from MCM and others too. Look for "cheater" cords.
