Hi everybody. I fond the video of this Zenith Chromacolor tv but it doesn't seem a Zenith at all. Is there anybody who got the chance to see a similar Zenith?

Not at all a Zenith but I dont think its fake.

Looks like it was a local build. Zenith licensed the use of its name.
Set would have a very high "local content". This would go toward
import restrictions that many countries have. Zenith sold a lot of
kit TV's that came un assembled & missing parts to do this also.
Seem to quite common in Arg. & look like US Zeniths. Never seen
the innards of one of them.

Yeah, not a Zenith. There's is nothing about the design, layout, or component selection that would indicate that Zenith had anything to do with this.

My guess is that it was simply a locally built TV with a license deal for the Zenith name and logo.
