This is a nice looking TV, but unfortunately the seller is far too optimistic thinking he/she can rake in that kind of money. Its sad that there is little to no demand for these nice combination units, but thats reality. We can't argue with it, and we can't hope it will change. As the saying goes "it is what it is". More times than not, they cannot be given away, regardless of how nice the cabinets are. I'm curious as to why the seller did not mention its working condition considering the asking price:scratch2:
For what its worth, I remember these sets and I can tell you that the remote remote control hand unit is infact incorrect for such model. It may operate the TV, but the designation "SC-600X" was exclusive to 1973 Zenith models only. This set on Craigslist should be equipped with the tan 600 remote as it is a 1968 model. Most likely, at one point in the life of the TV, the original remote was either lost or broken and this was available as a replacement. It works, but is incorrect.
With all due respect to the seller, they really have no idea that the general public or even us collectors for that matter will not buy a TV like this for more than $100.00. Space is a major drawback as well and people really do not have interests in turning the cabinets into something else.
If you confront the seller regarding his/her asking price, they may take great offense because of the huge differential between what its worth and their asking price, but until they are informed of the reality of the matter, they will continue to make these mistakes as they are simply unfamiliar with what they have. A big shiny beautiful wooden box can often be deceiving for having high value. Let's at least commend the seller for taking the time to attempt to sell it where as most everyone else would cut it up and throw it away without even trying to offer it for sale.
