I really like the late 50's through 60's Zenith AM-FM radios. Really solid sets all around and most seem to avoid the IF can issues of the late 40's and early 50's Zeniths. Not to say it can't happen. Also, most will actually give you some service right away, even before a recap. One thing I always expect is to at least replace the FM tubes in these as they are always either weak or dead when I find these radios. I have had at least five of these Zeniths from this era and only one has actually smoked itself when I brought it up on power. It's amazing how long these things have lasted before a recap.
No matter where you go, there you are.
