That's what we like to hear, a class leaning about an old tube type radio. With Zenith either the serial or chassis number will get you the schematic. The model number of your radio may be 8S359. This number can be different depending on the cabinet.
I will send you a schematic from Rider Vol #10. If there are questions, just post them.
