Very nice find, Doug! Those metal cabinet Zeniths were quite common around here - they used them in the Navy Barracks. When they replaced them in the mid-80's with System-3 sets, they were sold at the DOD-auctions here. Interestingly, they used a three-prong power cord and three pin interlock, whick was red plastic. The ground went only to the cabinet via a green wire and rivet. Other than that, they were identical to your set. Sad to say, I junked a few for my Dad - the CRT's were shot, as barracks sets were on 12-16 hours a day.

Cheers,
