Zenith had color prototypes in the same early 50s era as the others, also a prototype rectangular, like the Westinghouse in the other thread.
As for the subject of the thread... WOW. I would have grabbed that in a heartbeat if I was still in Phoenix.. Only saw one late 60s tube set the entire time I lived there, and often went to estate sales!
I've even been to that same "habitat" re-store!
Normally, you'd be lucky to see a 90s Funai set in there!
