Question about a Zenith TV

[Captain Video]

I hope the CRT is good, but if not, I will take it anyway. This type of television is extremely rare here, and as a collector, being able to own one, is like put the hands on the Holy Grail. To tell the whole truth, this was a completely unexpected find. No one really expects, or believe, that finding a Zenith roundie is something possible here. This is only the second roundie Zenith that is known to exist here. And I will not be surprised if those two are the only ones left.

Roundies, in general, are difficult to find here, but the ones made by General Electric are the more "easier" to find. It's estimated that by 1951 there were something like 7000 TV sets in this country. A very small number, and it is certain that very few of those 7000 were Zeniths. Brazilians, in general, didn't buy those high-end brands like Zenith, people here bought General Electric and Admiral. To find a Zenith roundie here, in 2010, was quite a shock. They were so few that it was believed that they were all gone by now.
