25" set; but, they are about 20-25 years out of date on their asking price. Most likely, it will wind up in a dumpster after the sale and this is one reason I don't like going to estate sales anymore. I can remember a time when an estate sale was nothing more than an effort to empty the contents of a house - not to make a killing. Back in the day, I could go to an estate sale and fill up a truck for $20. Now, most estate sales are ran by these companies who price everything double the ebay asking price. Sometimes, you can get a deal if you go to a privately run sale by the family members; but, even those types of sales are few and far between.

Yup. I had my conversion van at the sale, with blankets, a dolly, and a couple of those Harbor Freight furniture dollies.

Even looking at the tag, 108 watts isn't a lot of power.

Seemed like just a plain jane set in a different cabinet. The whole house was done in Asian theme, so the set did fit the style.

Funny, these kind of people wouldn't dare be seen watching a CRT set, but somehow they think most others will pay top dollar for them.

That ir sensor was to adjust the picture for room brightness. We had a similar 19" Zenith from this era, a "Custom Series" with the same readout. Not cable ready, had small buttons across the top, plastic woodgrain but otherwise similar to this set.
