I suppose converter use was a moot point back when these sets were made as cable still wasn't all that popular. Look at how quickly the popularity of cable exploded and then took a steep dive. I was told that my '88 Zenith console was never hooked to cable, and it shows. Looks almost showroom fresh inside and out. There's also the owner-added knife switch on the back for antenna selection.
