New to Phorum - picked up Zenith S652 and RCA811K
#6

Very nice finds, Steve. The Zenith 6S52 is a surprisingly strong player for a 6 tube radio. I've restored 2 of them in recent years. One thing you might find is an open field coil on the speaker. Seems to be fairly common on this model. There is a fix for it, though, and Mark Oppat can walk you through it. https://www.oldradioparts.net/index.html

You will also need a new dial belt. Those can be found here: https://www.qualityradiobelts.com/index.html

Good luck!
