The code might also indicate Year/Day/Week such as 66B26 indicating Tuesday of the 26th work week in 1966, again presuming this set was to be shipped to a Canadian dealer, due to the "All Channel" restriction effective April, 1964 for U.S. markets. That explanation also conflicts with the presence of a Service decal bearing the name of a shop with a New York address, however, unless the set was subsequently resold as a "used" item to an American household by its original Canadian owner and eventually serviced at the shop in New York whose label was affixed to the back.

Incidentally, I'm still searching for a Zenith roundie model equipped with Space Command. So far, the only remote-equipped "vintage" set I've ever personally owned was an RCA from the XL-100 era, a CTC-68 chassis, as I remember, that I bought used in the late 80s with its transistorized ultrasonic remote transmitter.
