Another ebay grab is this 1963 zenith. Space command 300, newer generation of course and a solid state remote chassis. I got lucky again, this set is like brand new inside and out. A blown B+ fuse made it non functional and leaky electrolytics in the space command chassis caused very poor performance of the remote. Changed all 4 lytics and aligned it. I can chance channels from upstairs with it now! This set was built in 40th week of 1962 as its the latest date and thats the crt. Being a K chassis, its for 1963. This chassis has a 3DG4 LV rectifier.

Access to the controls (fine tuning and volume) are behind the top metal door that flips down. The space command 300 remote is a different arrangement on this set. The left button controls channel selection, the "UHF" posistion will turn the set off. The left button controls the volume stepper and then mutes it continously. Never knew zenith had a space command 300 like this. I have tons of the 300 remotes but none say "channel/on/off, and volume/mute" like the buttons like this does, so Im glad the original remote was still with it. Most space command 300's are arranged as channel only, then volume on/off as the remote functions.
