Looks like your Zenith will look really nice with just a good, careful cleaning.

If I did my count right last night, the GE has 12 tubes grand total. Nine on the tuner chassis and three on the power chassis. It uses an 82 rectifier tube with two 46s in push-pull arrangement. A 'Class B' amplifier supposedly capable of 20 watts output. If that is true, that's alot for a circa 1932-33 radio!

It really depends on how much B+ voltage they are getting at the plates and screen grids, they aren't beam power tubes they are heptodes, like a 47 with a grid missing, I have my doubts that any radio with single pair of push pull audio tubes could deliver 20 watts in 1932. That being said it should sound nice once everything is working right.
