Looking at this battleship. what do you suppose it is. I can tell it's a zenith but color? B/W? Looks late 1960s early 70s.

Electronic M 08-12-2019, 09:09 PM CRT curvature indicates color. If that spot on the chrome panel next to the lower tuning knob is a 3 color spot then that is Zenith's color TV logo. I'd like to say that is around the 66-67 model year. That set was made during the later part of Zeniths transition from round to rectangular color CRTs. freakaftr8 08-12-2019, 09:57 PM Cool thanks for the tip. Was kind of thinking it may be color. AlanInSitges 08-13-2019, 12:12 PM The stereo in there should sound great. It's solid state, sadly, but I believe it will have around 100WPC and 15" woofers, two 4" midrange, and a horn tweeter. zeno 08-13-2019, 04:17 PM An odd ball, probably a drop in. My guess is they switched to a new cabinet but used up old parts at the end of the run. If so it will have a "dash" number after the model # do distinguish it. 1966 shows combos with the same lay out including bass & treble controls at bottom right. That style cabinet not shown. 1967 shows the same cabinet but totally different lay out & no bass & treble controls. Yes its a color. The stereo it probably uses is rated at 35 watts per channel EIA 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |
