Another Zenith Rescue [1983 19" SY1927W3 Space Command]

Even though they aren't as collectible, that's a damn fine TV. Have had two so far, one was my grandma's and the other was a curb find.

One died from a lightning strike and the folks threw it away on me years ago, and the one I picked up is on permanent loan to a friend who uses it in his shop.

Both have strong CRTs with perfect color and amazing contrast/sharpness. CRT number 19VMLP22...also used in arcade games of the time; and many of these sets have been harvested for a replacement crt.

The remote says"Computer Space Command" and it's silver and infrared. The 'chromatic' switch is best left OFF, in my experience. These were some of the last 80s Zeniths which were made in USA I believe. My '87 13" color Zenith was made in Mexico.

Table sets maybe. My '88 console with the 9-516 was made at the Springfield plant.
