What a very cool set! Especially to find one of these in Europe is a rare. Here in Spain we have a lot of later Zenith sets because Zenith had a factory in Barcelona starting in the late 1950s but something this early never comes up.
You should look for the Zenith chassis number in order to track down service information. These take the form NNLNN where the first two numbers indicate the number of valves in the set, the letter indicates the model year and the last two numbers are sequential to indicate version, etc. I can't remember offhand what letter went with each year, but I think 1951-1952 was H. The 20H20 was a popular chassis from 1952 so that may be a good place to start. World Radio History and the ETF will probably have service info and schematics for your set, either Rider, Beitman's or the Sams.
There is a guy here in Spain who sells American valves for these sets if you need any, you can find him on eBay as radio-antigua.
