You're right; these TVs are indeed rare, as Zenith only made them, IIRC, a couple years. I saw one of these digitally-tuned Zenith b&w sets in the early '80s, in a TV shop in my hometown.

Digital keyboard tuning of any b&w TV is rather unusual. I never saw and have never seen anything like that, before or since, in any other small b&w set either. Maybe Zenith thought they would start the ball rolling and other manufacturers would catch on.......?
