Kutztown Zenith porthole
Kutztown was a bit thin on TV's. A restored Andrea consolette with a tired tube and a stripped and polyed cabinet. An 8TS30 in a mint body but unrestored. A wood Sentinel 7" but pricey. And a Zenith 15" completely restored porthole tabletop in the leatherette cabinet. There were other lesser sets. Hello Zenith.
Having two 630's in mint cabinets, I did not need another similar set. The working Zenith was only $25 more than the not working RCA. I waited until after lunch and pulled the trigger. My first Zenith. Seller had restored it in a good quality restoration and moved it aside for other restored sets in his home. It needed to go.
I cleaned the leatherette tonight and wish is was a bit more shiny but it is what it is. It is still in the trunk looking for a space in the ranch but I fired it there and all is well. Pix later.
