Nice ... if it were in my back yard, it would be mine.
That Porthole would make a nice restoration.

I have that exact same model. It looks like the cabinet has been stripped and the bezel painted. Still not a bad price.

You lucky dog. That Porthole is a lot of eye candy.

Portholes catch my eye like a young leggy girl wearing a short dress, with big boobs, high heels, beautiful face, great personality, ....

I would agree with you Sean, except that's not the first time I've seen a black mask.

Mine-Its the curved top "Claridge" tabletop model- looked VERY good to begin with-only a couple of tiny places where the leather/vinyl covering was torn/worn...And then I went over it w/Windex to clean it good, & after that a couple coats of dark brown shoe polish...It GLOWS. Took it to Terry, he got it going again-No surprise since it is, after all, a ZENITH, & I've had MORE compliments over it than about all of the rest of my old Good Junque combined... Its like I tell people-In 1950, having a television was STILL a Pretty Big Deal, & back then, they LOOKED like Something Special-Not just the ugly dingy grey/black el cheapo looking plastic box that sits forlornly in the corner of the room....
