She WORKS !!! Well, not TOO well right here, inside my house, plus we have our ALMOST daily Summer Thunderboomer goin' thru..And its STILL daylite here, I'll see what she'll do w/all the antennas up & all that. This one is a Tooob T/O, they didn't have the snazzy leather ones after they went to Soiled-State in 1958. They DID however, keep the Tube ones in limited production til 1962. You never know-These Transistor thingies MIGHT be a Passing Fad.. That, & maybe Zenith was trying to use up stocks of tubes. A similar thing was that the old "Roundie" color TVs were in production til at least 1970-5 yrs after the "Rectangular" CRTs were introduced. You could buy a 21" Roundie color set-which had been the Top of the Heap for less than $300 in 1968-69. In 1963-64, they'd have easily been 2X that..
