1965/66 Zenith Console Stereo
 
Have any of you seen the 1966 Doris Day movie, "The Glass Bottom Boat"?

About halfway through the movie, Doris is doing a scene at the house of the character played by Rod Taylor. There is a beautiful Zenith Console stereo in the home, that Doris puts a record on.

I would sure like to find one of these, it is one of the most beautiful consoles I have seen. Would any of you recognize the model?

I'll try to get a screen shot of it and attach it, soon.

It is a top of the Line Zenith, X960 series, I believe the one in the movie
was a X964, The Vienne.

Wow, the model AND the name. Thanks, Othophonic!!

Might also have been a X962, the Milano, I haven't seen the movie in years
and just going by memory, definitely a 960 series.

mediterranean style
 
The stereo looks to me like what one would call a "Mediterranean" style of furniture. I did find a picture of the X964 online, and I believe you are right that the one in the movie must be the X962, as the 964 looked almost like a "French Provincial"

Is there a link somewhere to a Zenith brochure for this X960 series? I have been hunting online but haven't been able to come up with anything yet.

Thanks.
Barry
