Still need a good CRT, though, as this one seems to have open filaments. Also need to re-fabricate the part of the cabinet that the front escutcheon attaches to, as the previous owner cut it up a little so that he could put another TV in it. A bit of work, but worth it.

It's a Danish surname, to compliment the Danish modern styling.
Didn't RCA have a model with a model name "Thrifton".
It sounded a little better than "Cheap and nasty".
BTW, does that Zenith combo have a tube amplifier?
Beitmans shows a tube tuner and a solid state amplifier in the "M" model year.
