I had one once

I had a 63 model with that chasis that i kept running for a little over 25 years.
It was 3 or 4 years old and had be hit by lightning. Insurance claim totaled it.

Just needed new antenna coils. That 29xxx chasis is built like a tank. I replaced the pic tube once and kept a supply of all small tubes on hand. Never did a single component (other than tubes) ever fail. By 1964 they were down to the 25LC20 chasis and some way got rid of 4 tubes along the way.
I may be wrong, but I think that Zenith chasis had more tubes that year than any other 1963 chasis. The picture tube it came with had a separate non frosted face plate. I liked it better than the newer ones and you never had to worry about the cataract problem.
