These sets are expensive to acquire and restore but boy are they worth it. My restored Zenith 1965 25MC33 is a great set. The picture quality is incredible for a non solid state set with relatively simple circuitry. I had the CRT rebuilt and that makes all the difference. I also replaced the horizontal and high voltage tubes. Just a week ago the vertical output transformer failed but a new one is on the way. The handwiring definitely contributes to the reliability and the overall build quality is tremendous. Please try to post detailed pics of your set. I'm curious as to which chassis you have and what the cabinet looks like. I for one can neven hear and see enough about these round tube wonders.
