I've got the original Zenith schematic, but no scanner and some don't like photos of schematics...

If I'm not mistaken, Sams 757 woulda been published in 1963. Can someone verify?

Bad timing. I just scrapped a half dozen all-in-one printer/scanner/faxes two weeks ago. Otherwise I could have given you one tomorrow.

Thanks to you all for those most generous offers to help!
In the meantime I was able to locate an original SAMS for our set, once again, saved by the 'net! What a country!

So to summarize, at this point we know we have a 1965 Zenith set with chassis 25MC33, motorized tuning but no remote, and "High Fidelity" audio, in a modern Scandinavian-inspired dark cabinet design. It would be interesting to know what the model name like "Westchester" or? was? Are there any known 1965 Zenith TV brochure pdf or other files available to view out there?


This is indeed a very generous and helpful community, and we're happy to be a part of it! I'm not sure how much we can offer to contribute... does anyone need any decorating advice?

According to the Zenith "Radio and Television Receiver Service Manual Index, 1948 through May 1967", the name for the 5331 Color TV is the "Berwick".

The Zenith service manual is CM-106. I'm not familiar with the Zenith manuals compared so Sams.

Thanks gentlemen for that additional information! Berwick! Does the U on the end of our 5331U have any particular significance?

That 1965 ad certainly makes a good case for Zenith quality! The one shown is a tad different than ours, which has 2 knobs at the top, I guess the one in the ad has the remote?

Remote control

If it has motor drive on the color or tint, it is a space command 600. If not, it is a 400.
