I finally decided to give my recently purchased and of course restored Zenith 7S633 a little use tonight and I am rather impressed with this radio. Like some sites say, you definitely need a long wire for shortwave, but this radio does quite well on AM, even in the house with all the modern electrical noise. In fact, this radio rejects the noise better than most of my other old radios, whether they use an internal or line antenna. Sound is almost FM quality on our local AM station and it can at least receive other stations I can't usually get. Strength depends on how the radio is positioned of course as internal antennas are always at least a little directional. Now my big issue is that it has a 6X5GT in there that looks like new. I am not very handy, so building a solid-state replacement is out of the question for me, so I am wondering where I can find one for this radio and one other Zenith I plan to keep that uses this tube? I really don't want to chance a fried transformer from a suddenly shorted 6X5!
