'59 Zenith SC300 16D25Q

[AUdubon5425]

This popped up on the local CL a few days back. Was quite surprised when I realized the significance of this set - the first tabletop remote-controlled TV marketed (according to Zenith's ads.)

The man I bought it from said his parents were going to throw it in the garbage. It was their first TV and was working when put in the attic 30 years ago.

It is complete, including the aerials. One plastic button is missing from the remote and something's rattling around in there. She'll take a lot of cleaning up but should be well worth the effort.
