I agree. It looks a lot like the Zenith roundie on ebay which was mentioned at the beginning of the thread, although the one in the ad must be a slightly newer model as it has a different style of channel indicator (the one in Iowa has the light-through channel knob that showed the selected channel on a screen in the center) and, if I am not mistaken, the set in the ad also has Space Command (I thought I saw what looked like an ultrasonic transducer in the lower left corner of the cabinet, below the CRT mask). In any case, they are both very good-looking sets (the one on ebay had a great picture as well). Zenith (the real deal) didn't skimp on either chassis design or cabinetry when it was still Zenith of Chicago; they made some of the best TV sets around in their day.
