Nineteen seventy-nine was the first year this set was made. I had one exactly like it, model L1310C, in the late '70s--same cabinet style and all. I didn't realize at the time, however, that it used a System 3 chassis; if I had known that, I would have kept it and would very likely still be using it today (it got lost when I moved in the late '90s). I did not have one bit of trouble with that set, and it had an excellent picture. Only one other TV I've owned since then (my present TV, an Insignia flat panel) had a better picture and sound; my FP has MTS stereo sound, whereas the Zenith had a standard monophonic sound system.
