FINALLY got a 4 tube Zenith console !! (23DC14).

[rca2000]

Got this set today--from a somewhat local thrift.

I have not had a 4 tube Zenith console set since 1988 or so. They all just seemed to "disappear". So--when a friend called me last night--to let me know about this one--I did NOT hesitate to go get it !!

He said it said "Chromacolor" on the front, and did not say solid state. So--I figured--and hoped_-it was a 4 tuber. IIRC..none of the 12 or so tube hybrids had the chromacolor term--only the 4 tubers. Either way--I would have grabbed it. But it IS a 4 tube set. Chassis # is 23DC14. a 23" tube, I think matrix.

It is FAR from my favorite cabinet style, being a "leg set" type, BUT I don't care. I have waited for another 23" or so 4 tuber for a VERY long time. and it was only $30. I took the legs off--to make it easier to load--by MYSELF--as NO One would help me.

These pix's are NOT real good--the sun was shining brightly--and cause so much glare on my phone's screen--I could not really tell if I was getting a good pix or not. nonetheless-they do show the set a bit.

The chassis looks clean, with mostly Zenith tubes--though 2 have a "78" code on them. The damper has NO markings on it--other than the tube # on top. The tripler is the grey type--not a red one--may not be original.

Have yet to "light 'er off"...
