Kinda looks Photochopped to me. 4 knobs up top & another 4 on the bottom? Looking at my '65 Zenith roundie-top knob is VHF & fine tuning- bottom one is UHF & on/off/vol. All the other controls are behind a little door below the speaker. Also, my Zenith doesn't have the little rim around the mask next to the CRT-nor does it say "COLOR" or whatever below it. I think they'd stopped identifying "COLOR" sets by putting that on 'em by the mid-60s. Probly done by some 25-year old production assistant who's great w/computers, but has never even seen a real roundie & was told to make up an "old color TV." Another dead giveaway is the obviously fake image on the screen. Hey, nice try, but no soap...-Sandy G.
