Turns out we got a remote roundie! Hmmmm...
As mentioned on the other thread the sellers unexpectedly at the last minute were able to arrange a meet up for delivery. We're pleased and concerned at the same time, because it turns out it's a remote set and we weren't smart enough to ask that question in the first place! They seemed pretty rare back in our days of youth so it never occurred to us that it might be!
So now we're trying to find out what Space Command came with chassis 25MC33? The prices for those on eBay range from not too bad to frightening! Here's some pics of our new baby! She'll come out of the cold and into the house as soon as our big strong son can help us out!

Good looking set. The 25MC33 is a great chassis. If the tube is strong, you should get a great picture out of it. Don’t fret over the lack of UHF. Yu will likely be using a converter box or other signal source which outputs on VHF. since the digital transition, the lack of UHF tuning is not the drawback it once was. I would not worry about finding a remote until the chassis and cabinet are fully restored then you can add that feature last.

"cataract" and front controls
hope the "cataract" isn't too bad, and what does "all channel" mean?

Before you worry about the remote, take the back off, post a pic and show us that it actually has the remote receiver chassis. Zenith made sets with pushbutton motorized tuning that were NOT remote ready. If you don't have the remote receiver chassis in the set then having the remote will not do you any good.
That is the zenith style cataract, not hard to fix. I had a video on my photobucket account, but after photobucket went ransom mode I can't play it, or embed it here...http://s1095.photobucket.com/user/El...?sort=3&page=1

Where are the channel numbers? Most Zeniths of this era have a lighted channel indicator window either on the tuning knob or on the control panel. From the front, this does not look like motorized tuning. We need to see complete pictures of the cabinet interior to determine exactly what you have.

oh, so it does have UHF then. Though as mentioned elsewhere that might not be all that important anymore, with the converter boxes?
It has a bigger oval speaker on one side, smaller on the other... well it does say H-Fi on the front panel... is that all there is to it? lol!

I see two flat lead wires coming from the aerial connection terminals on the back. This would indicate the UHF tuner is installed.
