Flat chassis was 1st Zenith 100% solid state color. It sat in the
cabinet "flat" as opposed to being fold down vertical like
the later CC2 chassis. Sold in 25" C, D, E & probably a few F year
sets.
Still built on steel chassis with hand wiring & abt. 8 small modules.
All semis also plugged in.
Even at the time they were known for ruggedness, servicability,
almost immortal CRT's & had a great pix ! Everyone loved them, even
the RCA guys.

Nobody disliked the flat chassis Zenith first SS chassis. The most reliable Color TV hands down, rarely ever gave trouble. Agree highly about the early SS chassis from all the major makes being the best built and most service friendly from RCA, Motorola, and others.
