DEFINITELY a set worth restoring and keeping!!!

I kick myself in the a$$ every time I think about how many of those metal cabinet Zeniths I junked because nobody would buy them in the 80s. Unlike so many of the other "tin cheapie TVs", some of those Zenith metal sets were VERY high-end; Space Command 600 remote, and the 'hi fi" sound with bass & treble controls. I think those were built as easy replacements for people who had big B&W sets built into walls, and expensive custom cabinets.

I also wish I still had any of the little Zenith metal color sets (14"-16").
