The Eagle Has Landed!

Here are the brochure sections for 1963 and 1964. Same cabinet and model name. 1964 went to the solid state audio amp.

Old TV Nut,
Would you be able to post the whole brochures for '63 and '64? I think we would all like to see those, if possible.

Thanks,
Frank

I will if I get the time, but thought it would be best to do this much quickly. They don't fit on the scanner at all, so will take some time and effort to piece together.

Here's the brochure for 1963 models (9.2MB PDF file):

Thank you. It's always interesting to see how our sets were presented to the public.

Thank you for posting those brochures. I enjoy seeing the various models that were available, and also how much Zenith emphasized the service provisions for these sets. I can hardly imagine anything being presented that way today!

What was retail on the Chancellor ? Some of the sets were around $650, which according to the inflation calculator is $4880 in today's money.

I am willing to bet MORE than 1k was the retail for this combo then..or OVER 7K in todays money.

I have the chancellor set for the 1964 year with thew hybrid stereo chassis, 7500-W4, with the big SS amp on the cabinet bottom and tube tuner. GREAT tube---but with severe cataracts. Worked "somewhat" last time I lit it off.. that was when analog was still around.
