Blurghy,
The X334 looks to be a typical, wood cased (might be veneer) Zenith table radio. It might date from the late 50s but most likely early 60s, judging by its vertical tuning dial and styling. I've heard Zenith did really well with radios styled like the popular console TV sets of the time...
I don't have one, or my research info in front of me, but I'd guess it is a standard 7-tube, Zenith 'hand wired' chassis with a dual speaker (5x7 plus an electrostatic tweeter) set up. All this means it'll most likely work well, sound excellent and play reliably for years. If it doesn't, it's fixable, so don't pay too much. The styling isn't my cup o' tea (I like the horizontal 'slide rule' dial) but it you like it, deal done.
$50.00? You can probably get one cheaper. This radio is on eBay now and it's sitting at $5.00 with four days to go. No bids.
