Not a Zenith fan but that set looks complete even down to the original record changer, why part something like that out? It even looks like the burl or stump walnut is real, many Zeniths from this era used that cheesy dienoc faux finish in place of that sort of veneer.
As for the 6X5s, lets just say that Zenith did some very stupid things with their power supply designs in both radios and TV and using a pair of 6X5s in place of a 5Y4/5Y3/80 was just a bad design, along with using undersized power transformers in their sets.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
