Great find, Doug. Until I saw yours, I had never seen a Zenith roundie in such a beautiful cabinet. The last sets I had seen in the Chinese style cabinets were 1949-'50ish Stromberg-Carlsons (my late aunt had one in a white console cabinet with doors over the CRT; the Chinese artwork was on the large rectangular door pulls).

I will be looking forward to seeing a picture of your set in operation. If it makes a decent picture even with the convergence yoke broken in pieces, it will probably have a superb picture once the convergence issues are corrected. As I have said here before, those older Zeniths were and still are great TVs, much better than the "Zenith" branded LG sets coming off the lines from Korea. I have an LG cell phone, but would not touch an LG television with a ten-foot antenna mast, let alone own one.


Keep us posted.

Kind regards,

Zenith. Gone, but not forgotten.
