1950 Zenth Porthole

My boss at work recently gave me a 1950 Zenith Porthole. I have been looking for one like it for years. Does anyone know what model it is and what the name is ??

Model numbers are often shown on the back cover or on a paper label inside the back.

There is a site that I believe is called "TV history" or "radio museum" that has pistures and model numbers for many makes of TV, and they have the model numbers and cabinet names of many Zenith porthole sets.

That's a cool set, Kogo. I'm not big on consoles, but that's worth preserving.

But, don't plug it in or lift a wrench unless you know what you're doing...
