Re: "Convex" cabinet styling

The "convex" styling of television cabinets made sort of a comeback, if short-lived, in the late '70s-early '80s when Zenith introduced its convex-shaped color consoles that would easily fit in a corner. These sets had electronic varactor tuning and Space Command (hmmm, wonder if Doug Harland has this model in his collection?) with, IIRC, a 25" CRT.

It reminds me of the earlier Sony Trinitron Color TVs, with that distinctive curved picture tube, and curved cabinet to go with it.

PS. I really like the cabinet of that Stromberg Carlson, too bad they don't look like that anymore.
