I haven't gotten pics yet, but it's a 16F25Q chassis. IIRC, the Q means space command, but I forget what year F was...

I cleaned the tuner up (again), and with a real antenna, it's got a much better pic, but the vertical's got issues (crap lin, no enough size - origional caps), and the IF strip (or tuner?) looks a bit out of kilter - it's either a bit soft, a bit fuzzy, or a bit sharp with 'echos' to the right of dark lines...

I know the set's able to do better, I've seen same vintage Zeniths that were..

Interestingly, in the box of parts I was handed, I found a schematic for a 9 inch Panasonic tube set, which I'll have to inquire about. Looked like a hungry guy, too - it ate a lot of horizontal outputs (there were 5 (!) in the parts box), among other tubes.
