That looks like a 25EC58 flat chassis solid state set from '74. Well worth getting if the price is right.

If its an E-line it could have either the 25EC58 flat or
25EC45 upright. They changed chassis mid year. Being an
Avanti its worth getting either way if the price is right.
There was probably a change in model # on the last number
but I dont remember.

Not yellowed either. Would be worth having for many here, especially if it's a flatty. You ought to grab it and hang onto it, could make getting that Porta-Potty easier.

What do these usually sell for? Or what would be a fair price?

100-200 dollars would be fare depending on working and cabinet condition.an excellent player with a sharp cabinet could fetch 250-300 from the right buyer

Cabinet type plays into it as well. Avantes (that one) are considered to be worth far more than any other type by most around here. I wish I knew what the style of my flatty's cabinet is called.

I think Zenith was imitating the RCA 2000 with that cabinet design...

The 2000 did it better and the CTC-47 chassis looks ALMOST as nice as the Zenith flatties. ALmost...but NOT QUITE. The zenith flatties (25DC56, 58, EC58 DC57 CC55) are better, though.

Then others copied the Zenith design, i.e. Electrohome and Panasonic.

Dead ringer cabinet. The orange color button looks Zenith
but the knobs look VERY panasonic. Someone a while back
posted the Panasonic clone, was it Robb ? Looked it up in
Sams & it had a nice simple chassis like a Zenith, even used
the Zenith regulated transformer. I bet the Electrohome is
Panasonic built.

Nah, that was me. Unfortunately I have since pulled the pics to reclaim attachment space.
