Picked up a Zenith Roundie
 
2 Attachment(s)
I got this one off of craigslist in the MIlwaukee area. Paid $25 for it. It has a rebuilt crt that was not run very much and tests like new. All 3 meters on the Beltron hit 95 in less than 30 seconds and the life test hangs for better than 20 seconds with all 3 guns of equal life.

And whats best is it works! Needs a convergence very badly though and the tuner is very dirty so will need a cleaning.

Nice one Bob! I missed that one somehow, I check CL almost every day. Love the price! Is that a '67?

Wow! That is a nice set. Those models originally had a rare earth phosphor 21FJP in 'em. 66-67-ish and one of the last roundie models. That, my friend is a keeper!

Very nice set and rare working order too! The funny thing is while I was viewing the pictures, that same turbotax commercial came on my set! lol

i had the same exact set in 1991 . Mine unfortunatly went to the crusher becuase it needed a new crt and at that time there was no internet and there was was not any crts anywhere around here to be found . Wish i would have saved it .

My father bought that exact set in august,1966.Had a lot of trouble,including a bad picture tube during its first three years.After that,it ran trouble free being played daily until dec 1979 when i bought him a new magnavox set for Christmas.The set still played when he threw it out in 1980.Sure wish I could find one now>>>
GREAT SET!!!!

Even better than the 25MC33? It must really be something. It is great to see another Zenith roundie up and running.
