Name this Zenith!

[VINTAGE.FAN]

This was our main TV growing up. I've forgotten about it until recently, but would love to find one! It is the bottom set in the pic, I remember it had a great picture, dad only had it repaired once in the 90's, but died for good and was replaced in the early 00's. Anyone have any info on the model?

That is MY Zenith! Been a while since I've seen that pic of my old garage.
It is one of the Chromacolor II series. IIRC it was made in 76'. I currently use it as my basement repair bench set...It has some intermittents in the video stages that cause me to occasionally slap it on the side to get it to behave it's self but it works well otherwise.

I won't be home for another 4 hours or so but I should be able to give you the model and more pictures then if you want.
If you find your self about halfway between Milwaukee and Madison Wi. with some cash(or my childhood Quasar shown in my want list linked in my signature) I could be persuaded to part with that set.

Awesome! Thanks, I tried my hardest to find a good pic of it, searched google for 2 hours! Finally I realized that it was a chromacolor! I remember the slap, thats the reason dad got it repaired! Thanks again!

Man, you've got to get that set. I'd prefer one that uses an ultrasonic remote, but I wouldn't turn down one of these.

That was the bread & butter set. First 19" color Zenith.
Started with E4025W @ '73 then F4025W then G & H models.
IIRC the H model was the last year of that style. A VERY easy
set to keep running, probably the easiest. Must have built millions
of this chassis that went into 17, 19, 23 & 25" sets from E to K
model years.

I was surprised to see it was an "H" line chassis.
I would've bet it was a F or G.

Yup me to. May have been a short run to get rid of cabinets etc.
Wish I had saved all the sales books from then would answer a
lot I have forgotten. I think the cabinet shape may have been used
through J line as a cheap set in plain tan ??
