Nolan -
I just saw (on ebay) the listing for the Zenith MK1025 you mentioned. The bidding has ended at $77.60, so yes, you were right. The radio did go rather cheaply. (BTW, I like the way they put the tuning knob in one of the speaker enclosures; I never saw anything like that until now, even in a Zenith radio.)
BTW, I see Zenith MJ-1035s on the bay every once in a while, so if you are looking for one to replace the set which was destroyed on its way to you earlier this year, that will be the place to find it. If you can't find one on ebay, I'd try putting an ad in Antique Radio Classified.
BTW (2), my Zenith collection is still alive and well here. What amazes me, however, is the fact that the filter cap in my H511Y table model still appears to be good (I don't hear any hum when the radio is on and tuned to a station, so the cap must still be doing its job). Not bad for a set made almost 55 years ago. Still have to replace the speaker (though the original still sounds good despite having numerous tears in the cone) and restring the dial cord, but those are projects for later on in the winter. (The filters in my K-731 are apparently good as well, as that radio still works and sounds great, although I don't use it much--my TransOceanic Royal 1000-1 gets more use than the '731 or the others in my collection although the '731 sounds better than any of the others. Probably because of the two-way speaker system with the electrostatic tweeter.

Kind regards,
