Yes, and just a year or two before mine (I was born in '56, will be 48 in July). Like Doug, I like those old Zeniths (had a basement full of them in my hometown 30+ years ago) and now have two older Zenith radios (one from 1951, the other from '63) in my apartment. Both work great.
BTW, I tried some time ago (last year, IIRC) to join your Heathkit TV forum, but never got a response from Yahoo! Groups. Did they (or you) ever receive my request to join the group? If not, I will resubmit.
Thanks and kind regards,
