Thanks Able! Below is a link to my zenith:

It looks a little different as I had to strip the whole cabinet-it must have been in a flood as the bottom half of the radio had very little veneer left on it. I spent a month building up the old layers of thin wood until it was level enough to apply new veneer. The most challenging refinish I have ever done. I did make up new photofinish strips to go around the top, but they looked terrible so I went with just doing the edges in a very dark finish. The rectifier was shorted when I found it, but luckily the power transformer was fine. I even restuffed the caps in this one.

Overdrive Trucking was music, right? I did listen in on the Midnight Trucking Radio network show out of Detroit, but that was more talk radio slop. The best station I found last night was out of Nashville, which was playing some music from the Grand Old Opry.
