I've only seen one 12" version and one 19" version of that set. The 12" version was at a yard sale, about 20 years ago. It was in great shape; but, the seller wanted $25 for it. At the time, that's what I was selling used 12" B&W's for; so, I passed. Now, I know I should have gotten it.

The 19" was a gift from the local Zenith dealer, who was about to toss it. That one had been in an accident and suffered a busted CRT. I ended up junking it. Again, I should have kept it because I'm sure with the resources I now have, I could have found a CRT for it.

I've also had a standard 23" Zenith solid state B&W metal cabinet set from the late '70's. I think I sold that one for $40, back around '92.

Oh well, can't cry over spilled milk. However, I don't think I'll be parting with my '78 Sylvania B&W console.
