That is possible, Ill have to look inside it but I think the last owner, a VK'er from the dixie side of our state line, tossed in a tuner assembly from a later side by side tuner Sylvania 
One nomenclature nit to pick. AFAIK there was no CCI just CC and CCII. CC was found on hybrids (and a few of early production SS sets) so I would not use it as a SS identifier. CCII was on both the flat chassis SS and the vertical chassis SS sets, but never the hybrid sets. |
Thanks, I stand corrected. When my folks finally caved and got color, the 1971 Zenith was simply called chromacolor. At the time I thought it was something that could not be improved or have a sequel. I did not know flat chassis SS was CCII tho' makes sense if the original chromacolor had SOME tubes.
