I have my Papaw's 1965 metal cabinet woodgrain set that I NEED to take to Terry's sometime. Missing the VHF knob, it has the UHF tuner.

next week before a photo , wood grain metal cabinet sounds just like the one i got from ka-zoo mich. a few weeks ago ,except mine just has vhf tuner.

It should have the 25MC33 chassis in it. A quite reliable one in my opinion. Check the can capacitors after it's on a while to see if they're warm. It would be best to slow start it with a variac and horizontal output tube pulled. That helps "reform" old caps bring them back to life. Regularly used sets should be recapped though. This chassis only has a few crappy caps to worry about. I have a '65 that has never been restored and I have been using it since '08. I keep meaning to recap it I just get lazy and don't...LOL.

And believe it or nutz, the woodgrain metal cab is really quite nicely done...Its some sort of a vinyl applique, & actually FEELS sorta like wood does.

You're right Sandy, I have a '67 Zenith like that and it looks really nice.

I tried that route. We got color TV late here in Idaho. Not many left around. Only picked up 1 roundie Admiral color and haven't seen any since. In fact, I have only seen 1 other color tube set for sale, a square tube GE. Lots of B&W sets like every other town. All I ever got in response to my ads were trying to sell me cheap BPC sets or 80's-90's consoles. One guy wanted one to make a fish tank out of it. Of course he wanted the CTC-100 in my sample pics. I don't own one(yet) but I put it in my ad to show what I'm looking for. I'll run across a Zenith someday. I have plenty for now.
