Zenith Porthole

Thanks to a fellow VK member, I purchased this Zenith Porthole. It needs a full restoration.





A non-VK member, friend of mine gave me this tube and chassis. I believe it to be a Stromberg Carlson TV-12. As well as an Airline portable.

That sure looks like a Dumont RA103 chassis, even down to the Inductuner, tuning eye and constant voltage transformer.
I'm thinking that Stromberg Carlson simply rebranded Dumont.

The Stromberg-Carlson TV-12 is indeed another RA-103 chassis set, like the Crosley 9-407.
