Heads Up- Zenith Roundie On E-bay

There is a beautiful mid 60's Zenith Roundie Console in working condition
on E-bay. If it were in my state it would be mine!
Search Zenith Console, or Older Walnut Color TV.

That's a real sweety and a sweet deal too. I guess it's a '63 model. Nice to find an honest seller. I bet it has nice sound with that lower speaker option.

That's a '64 model, I hope you get it Jamie! That one's worth the 300mi. round trip for. That cabinet don't come along often, at least around here.

I've only seen one other Zenith roundie in an upright cabinet. I hope you get it. It looks like it might have the 25MC33 chassis in it. The lack of UHF is no longer a problem when hooked to a converter box. That is a very nice set, well worth saving.

I have one a LOT like that.


Mine is the 25MC30 chassis. pretty good cabinet cndition. The tube "woke up" pretty nicely. Come on now, wiht nice sound noise and snow. Mine has a 5"x7" speaker under the picture tube area.Mine DOES have uhf.

Mine was an "antique mall" find, about 7 miles from here--$38, back in Apri or so.

The 25LC30... wasn't that like their 3rd color chassis? Good luck getting it jamie... those verticle cabinets are neat (and you can line more in a row against the wall)

I wish my Zenith roundie were in a vertical cabinet. It would make it easier to watch in bed.

No Cateracts either! That early of a model Zenith most likely would have a 21FBP in it. And it's got that darker green bezel color further dating it as an earlier model.

If I could justify a 20+ hour round trip that would be the Zenith for me! I've always been kinda fond of those upright cabinets too. Reminiscent of a 50's cabinet with 60's technology!

I know that RCA did this also at least up through the CTC-16 series. Doug had posted photos of his RCA and in my High School Electronics class one of the shop teachers brought in his early 16 series to be looked at.

That Zenith is pretty!
