What is this TV (Zenith)?
 

Spotted this on CL. Can't tell if it's a Zenith or not. I'd like to have it; but, it's a little too far away. My mother would shoot me if I asked her to take me on a 5 hour round trip to pick up a TV;so, someone please save it.

I like the front control panel. Very retro; in a good way. :thmbsp:

Whatever it is, it looks like a remote set. They've also got a lower end Zenith console record player for $20. It looks to be an early SS unit or one of the last "hot" chassis tube jobs. http://jackson.craigslist.org/fuo/1234597886.html

Its not a zenith, but whatever it is, its quite interesting. I'd bet also that its a remote set. That must be saved!

Did anyone ask the seller what brand it is? That is one sharp looking set! I'll throw in my two cents and say remote set too. It looks familiar like I saw it looking through a pile of sams, I don't recall seeing one like it "in the wild" though. It would be sad to see that one trashed, and the Danish modern is my favorite style.

I just sent them a message asking for the brand and if they had any other older electronics besides the TV and stereo. If they have enough stuff, I might can manage a trip over there. Sometimes, I'm a little hesitant to ask questions as the item then becomes "valuable".

I get you on that, if you're all excited they're liable to jack the price up. I hope you or someone with some sense can save it, be a shame for a "fish tanker" to get it.

Man, that control panel looks familiar... Hmm... Could it be a GE..?

I've been staring at it for ten minutes and just can't place it. I'm pretty sure it's a 1967 going only by the design, whatever it is. It looks like the name is on the lower half of the bezel in the corner but I'll be damned if I can read that.

Nice Danish Modern design. It does look like about 1967-69. Not a Zenith. I looked in my 1967,68 and 69 Zenith and RCA Victor binders, I don't see anything with those two elongated, metalized control panels - my guess is that maybe it is a Magnavox or even a Sears? I like it and I agree - save it - don't let it become a fish tank or go to the crusher. Keep it as original as possible.

Its not a Zenith as Doug stated but Zenith did use this cabinet in several of their models as i have one. I want to say it may be a GE or GE built (example Bradford) remote set.

Have not heard from them yet. I'll try not to worry until sometime tomorrow. I can't tell you how many CL ad's I've replied to and didn't hear a word from the seller.

It would be something if this set is a GE. Tube type GE color sets almost never show up since they didn't stand the test of time as well as some of the other brands. Even back 15-20 years ago, I found very few GE tube type color sets (except for portacolors).

I think it might be a Heathkit...

Judging by the length of the name badge, I'd guess a Magnavox.
