Honest Opinions Wanted: Price Range For 1964-5 Zenith

[Tubejunke]

Ok, sounds good so far. Now I have heard that the metal cabinet, which upon purchase I thought just lent to it being an uber base model, actually makes it more desirable. The reasons given make sense.

People tended to see a TV, most particularly a color console as an investment AND furniture. That's why a "vintage" TV used to often be found doing time as a stand for a often smaller replacement. I remember hearing older folks saying "the cabinet is worth" this or that.

But a metal cabinet would be way more likely to go to the dump; and did. So evidently they are harder to find. That's all well and good I guess, but honestly, I would rather have a nice wood cabinet over a metal one. So ya have to wonder who it is that would be seeking out old metal color TVs specifically......
