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

All channel usually means VHF and UHF tuners built in. My Zenith roundie has All Channel on the control panel too.

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!

See this picture of the tuner cluster? See the windings of the motor pictured in it, and the motorized tuning star wheel? It is a motorized VHF tuning set...There is no doubt about that. If you look at the bright spot above the speaker there are two semi-transparent wheels with the channels labeled on them. Those would be backlit by dial lamps and shine through the front panel...I've seen Zeniths that used that scheme before.

That is the tuner cluster. which includes the tuner motor. It is not the remote chassis. Can you take a pic that shows everything in the back in one shot?...Preferably center the camera on the CRT base then walk back until all is in the frame. The remote chassis on Zenith color sets of the era is usually about the size of the HV cage and black.

All channel means it should have UHF.

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

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.
