Thanks everyone for the info! My grandparents had one that looked just like this, so it had a nostalgia pang added to the rarity factor for me.

Yeah, 7 hours each way on a ferry, I don't think anyone would ship it so I'll have to take a car ferry out to Mallorca to pick it up.

Very interesting about the possibility of it being a PAL model. It's entirely plausible, as Zeniths were built under license by a company called Televasa in Barcelona toward the end of the dictatorship, but I haven't been able to get much info on dates or models produced - this is the only color Zenith I've seen here.

I'm going to go for it.

ETA: this is the only Zenith of this era I have seen that didn't have a green halo. I wonder if the CRT is different as well? I know the other sets made under license in Spain used home-grown tubes (complete with weird-o European numbers) to avoid a hefty import duty.
