Good grab! Nothing like an already working set. Out of curiosity if/when you get a look under the chassis I would like to know if the set is working original, or working restored. I have 2 50's sets that are working original with the exception of normal service done when they were in common use. In other words never recapped. I find this an amazing thing.
The concept of a consumer product that lasted 50 years is almost unbelievable, especially by todays standards, or lack there of.
If you need a twin for the Zenith and are ever out around VA I would like to find a good home for mine. It is recapped but I had no luck at all in repair. The chassis and CRT was so clean, and most of the tubes were original, it led me to believe that my set never saw more than a year or two of service. No vertical sweep and hum for sound. Sounds simple but I never figured out what the problem is. Too bad I invested in the caps and resistors. I have no remote control but it is a remote set.
