I almost have a '76 Zenith 19" space command CCII in my possession

A friend, who frequents estate sales, picked up a bunch of stuff for me. Even though he didn't ask before hand and even though he paid a little too much for some of it, I went ahead and took the stuff because I'm afraid if I turn him down, he'll stop picking up stuff for me.

One of the things he picked up was a G-line ('76) 19" Zenith chromacolor II space command. This set uses a long electronic ultra-sonic remote and has a vertically arranged electronic tuner. It's the model where the fornt is angled up. It actually looks like the first color TV I ever fixed, except that set had a four button mechanical clicker remote (was probably a little older). He said that this set was still in the bedroom and plugged in; so, there's a good chance it works. I don't actually have it here yet because it was raining and I didn't want to get it wet. He paid $20 for this set.

The other stuff he picked up was a 13" silver Sylvania/Funai TV/VCR combo with remote for $20 (no idea if it works, I sure hope it does), A concert hall wildcat record player with a frozen two speed BSR changer for $20, a late '60's Arvin solid state console stereo in so-so cosmetic shape for $30, a pair of cheap '70's stereo speakers for $12, A circa 1960 King two-transistor "boys radio" for $5, and a mid '60's small Panasonic AM/SW radio for $10.

Hopefully, I can get my $20 back out of the TV/VCR combo and might get a good price for the wildcat phono, once I service it. Even the Arvin console stereo might sell, since people around here have been buying working console stereo's lately.

Like I said, I think he paid a little too much for some of this stuff; but, I'm still happy to get the stuff and I will post pictures of the Zenith CCII when I get it.
