What Model Zenith?

Hi Folks,
I'm usually a reader (sounds better than lurker) on the antique radio or transistor boards, but I started coming here awhile ago, and am impressed by the activity here. I never really thought about the interest in preserving early color tv technology. It's nice to see our engineering and manufacturing heritage acknowledged, and recognized for what once was. Anyway, I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer, and possibly even find a photo. Around 1964, we got our first color set. It was a Zenith roundie in a wood cabinet, and as I recall, it had a backlit channel selector, and directly below the channel selector were two thumbwheels- color and tint? I remember we kids were forbidden to ever touch those controls! Some of my favorite evenings were spent when our repairman came to attend the set- He always had a great store of WWII stories (my dad never told any of his) and best of all, I got to see inside the set! Thanks for your help!

Chief
