I also like the Zenith FM sets. As the early 1950s ones do not have AFC, they do drift to varying degrees as they warm up. Most Zeniths used the 12AT7 tube as the FM oscillator and converter tube. I have other sets(including some cheaper Zeniths) that used the 12BE6 in this role. The performance of these sets has not been as good as the ones that use the 12AT7.
The main issue I had with Zeniths and other 1950s radios is the IF capacitor corrosion issue. There are instructions on the internet on how to fix this.
