Well I happen to like the disco era Zeniths (slanted cabinets) and these will certainly be collected by others, but that ornate overdone femmy looking baroque look seems to be gone forever.

If you like it, fine, not criticizing anyone's taste....but I think it's safe to say that it wasn't very popular when it was new and most likely will never get any more popular.

You know what they say about a old car that didn't sell well when new? No one wanted it then, and fewer want it today! Can you say "Pacer"? LOL
