A roundie found ME this time.

By all means dont feel bad, we all have more sets and projects than we will admit. At least, we know that these sets are with people who will care for them. By and by, the projects will get done and sets will be swaped, and best of all no one will fish tank or book case our sets.

Hey Mark - I am REALLY impressed - when I found you online I just wanted this set to get a good home where someone could enjoy it. I NEVER expected it to turn out like this! Nice job man!

Thanks Joe! I promised you I'd do the best I could with 'er. This set is now one of my most favorite, the 26KC20 chassis is a great performer and I love the black metal cabinet with the stand.

Congratulations! That is a beautiful set. My Zenith roundie has been in service for a year now and still going strong. They are really the best of early color TV as far as reliability goes. i have always loved the metal cabinet roundies. I hope she runs for decades more. I can't believe you have six roundies. I only have two if you count my 8" Motorola 9VT1 which needs a ballast tube. Way to go and thanks for the great pics.

That's where I'm at with my CTC4, I'm going to veneer the cabinet and forget about the photo finish. I plan to stain it the original color or close. I'm not a fan of printed finishes that's for sure.
It's cool that you found a 27KC20, can you post a few pics? You can use my thread if you want.


BTW everyone, sadly, sort of, I no longer own the Zenith this thread is about, although I love it greatly and will miss it. It's a secret as to what happened to it, at least for a few more weeks. THEN I'll let the cat out of the bag.
