Wish I had kept one I had! It was a cheap masonite cabinet with screw-in legs. It was PROBABLY a 29JC20, since it had the 2 LV tubes. Wanna hear the silly reason I threw it out? It was missing the 3DG4's and I didn't want to pay $5 each at Henry Radio for a round color TV! But then again, my defense for doing that is that it was in '79 or '80.

I also knew of 2 others with more elaborate cabinets. If I'm not mistaken, you can spot the 3DG4 model a mile away with that old style VHF tuner knob. I think in '63 the style changed on that knob. One of the other 29JC20s might still be where I last saw it, but probably not available. It was in the livingroom of the house where we used to go and vote a few blocks away in West LA. If I happen to be down there on a voting day, I will go there and see if they still have the polls there, and if the Zenith is still there!
