What kind of tombstone do you have? I have a 5S127 and I use it almost everyday. It's got a great sound for a 5 tube.

I've got the same radio. Apparently I was lucky when I first turned mine on and a shorted filter cap took out the 6X5 and I was able to shut it off before the transformer went poof. I used it regularly after I replaced the filters but now not so much, been a few years since I last powered it up.

I need the general cap replacement and my dial belt slips as well, though I wonder how that belt is supposed to stay on the pulley with no groove to hold it there.

Mine is a 5R135, not nearly as expensive as yours. Its BC-only with a plain dial but a fine little set.

I'm absolutely disgusted with this radio right now. I managed to get one wire replaced before I couldn't take it anymore. Replacing those wires is a huge PITA. I can't decide if I want to keep it or get rid of it. It was my first Zenith after all.
