Zenith porthole 12" console
I finally found one of these. It uses a glass CRT, which tests good (up to 350/1000 on the B&K 420 after leaving it on at 6v for about 5min)
I have the back, but am missing all the knobs. Does anyone have pictures of what the knobs look like? For all I know, I might even have them in one of my boxes of knobs. The guy I bought it from said someone came to pick it up last week, was all ready to buy it, then said he wanted to fish tank it, and he refused to sell it to him!

chassis 28F20/21/22 which corresponds to sams # 64-15 which gives the following corresponding model #s: 28T295, 28T960, 28T961, 28T962, 28T963 From the pictures given, I don't have the 28T295 (which is a table model) or the 28T960 (which is a different console) Anyway, it looks like they all use the same knobs, just different colors. I can almost make out the knobs well enough from the pictures to go check and see if I have them now. Last edited by Adam; 01-07-2013 at 04:42 AM.

I think I might have found the smaller knobs, I know some of these Zeniths used these red fine tuning knobs, and I also found these brown ones that are the same size and shape. (The ones with the longer shafts won't fit unless I cut them down) See pic.

If that has the original CRT, it'll be a 12KP4, aluminized. Great performer.

I have a 28T925R. Have a couple of extra knobs you are welcome to. I'll have a look tomorrow and let you know. The smaller ones in your photos are not the same but will work in a pinch til the correct ones come along

The CRT is so dusty and dirty I can't read anything off of it. I can see where it says Rauland, which is what I believe Zenith called their picture tubes, so there's a good chance it is the original tube.

here are a couple of the on off knob, which lays on top of the fine tuning knob, and the four minis, which are for horizontal vertical, fine tuning and brightness...the knob on the previous post that was identified as fine tuning, is actually for contrast.
I have two extra of the mini knobs, and I might have an extra channel selector. I have pm d someone else who was looking for the channel selector, but have not heard back from them, but will give them a few more days.

Thanks for pulling those out. I have a bunch of the smaller ones in a lighter color. Which controls take the knob with the dot, and which the knob with the edge sticking out? ... Actually, the hole on the ones with the edge is too small, so is the hole in the ones with the longer shaft, so only 3 of those fit.

The knobs with the dots are under the fold down tray where the horizontal. Vertical. Brightness and fine tuning. The two dotted on the right side look correct. The one on the left looks slightly different. My model, the tabletop, has all dark brown, but I have seen pics of the consoles with white minis instead of brown. Have also seen consoles with brown channel selector, white contrast with a brown on off over top of it, and all white minis under the fold down lid. Its difficult to say but I'd say two of the three little white ones look correct.
