Thanks for the nice words. Id like to mention that I found some more "cheapness" in this TV: I noticed this evening that the legs are actually molded plastic, with brass end caps on them! They still use the same 1/4-20 threads that screw into the bottom of the cabinet like the typical wooden legs. These budget sets are the hardest ones to find, they got used and thrown away. Being cheaper in design, they were a little "flimsy" in design from a mechanical stand point. Most didnt last too long and they didnt have any special value other than being just a TV, much like a portable or table sets. Its great to find zeniths and RCA's but this was a very nice unique find for the collection.

ceebee, this set came from a Chicago estate sale a couple week ago. Found in the basement of an apartment building.

As for cabinets, I can agree with all of you that commented. I enjoy the plain cabinet sets or danish modern best. Thats why I like the 60's table/portable sets so much, as they're simple, for function only with good 60's industrial design.
