If I still lived in a house, I'd bid on that set as I like Zeniths, a lot (and the set is in Pennsylvania, the next state just east of me). As it is, though, my apartment is much too small for such a monster of a TV. The closest I can come to having an entertainment center like that is the arrangement I have now: the TV and VCR in its cabinet to my far right, my computer on its desk in the middle, and the stereo to my left. The stereo speakers are on stands at either side of my desk; the computer's speakers are on top of the monitor hutch, at either side of my desk lamp.

If I could find a picture of my current installation I'd attach it to this post, but my image file is a mess right now--most of them don't have meaningful filenames, so even with a good image sorter (I have Picasa and a few other freeware image viewers) it's darn difficult to find the image I want in a hurry. Oh well....that's a project for those long, cold, snowy winter days which will be here before we know it.

BTW: Oooops! I just looked at the ebay listing for that Zenith combo, and found the bidding for it has ended. I hope whomever finally got it will enjoy it, as those 1970s Zeniths, like all their sets made before GS took over the company in the '80s, were excellent sets.
