I got to tinker with a couple 1938 Zenith 15 tube consoles. I loved the look and I might have been able to tame one, but didn't like the $2000 price tag on them. I would definitely go for a 37-116 or even a 38-116 in a heartbeat and they don't sell for too much around here when one pops up. I have seen them in the flesh, but haven't gotten to hear one yet, but I'll bet they sound very good if my 116x is any indication.
No matter where you go, there you are.
