Captainmoody,

Congratulations on getting that set working. You now have a Zenith TV which should serve you well for many years. (The cabinet looks great too.) I know the feeling. In the early '70s I restored a 1963 Zenith b&w 23" console in a dark wood cabinet (trash day find) from the ground up (new tubes, etc.), and was very pleased with the results. That set had an excellent picture, even using rabbit ears as an antenna, and the sound quality was excellent (6BN6 gated-beam detector, 6BQ5 output, and a huge speaker--6x9 oval, IIRC, like the one in a Zenith radio I have here--in the base of the cabinet). Hated to have to give it up when I moved (the first time) 32 years ago, but I was moving to a house with no room for a big console.

BTW, I've been looking in the rectangular sets thread for the pic of your 1967 Zenith with power tuning, but haven't found it yet. Is it still there?

Zenith. Gone, but not forgotten.
