A local TV collector gutted a set just like that, and I arrived to find just the cabinet and back. I still took the cabinet because it was such a beauty, but it just sat around for months in my garage and shed (getting in the way). I figured it would make a good "cabinet" for a flatscreen, but then I remembered I don't have much interest in owning a flatscreen, so that idea got shelved.
I gave some thought to shoving a cheap-cabinet Zenith in there, but somehow I knew the Franken-set mixing of DNA would bother me (OCD). Eventually, something damaged the cabinet and I sadly pitched it.
I would so love to have a roundie, late 60s, or early Chromacolor II set in a cabinet like that, but it just seems like they don't exist! Every Zenith set of that era seems to be a big steel or press-board box. If it has a wood cabinet, it's always some furniture style I dislike. However, I save the sets in the hope the correct-year/model cabinet will show up for an upgrade.
If anyone has Zenith full-line catalogs of that era, could you post a new thread with some picture scans? I'm starting to doubt they even made such sets, yet I don't see how they could have avoided it... Real Danish-modern style was so popular in the 60s.
How about a picture of this set in operation Doug??
