I don't think I've seen a set of this cabinet style from the '80's. I did see a mid '80's 25" table model Zenith in a particleboard cabinet that had holes on the underside of the cabinet where legs could be screwed on. I have seen a 25" System 3 from the early '80's and a 23" Zenith SS B&W from the late '70's that were housed in steel cabinets. Last but not least, back in the early '90's, I saw a Zenith steel cabinet / steel back color TV at a repair shop. It looked just like something from the late '60's or early '70's. When I walked around and looked at the front, it was a digital tuned set. I've never seen another TV like it since. I always thought Zenith discontinued the steel backs in the early '70's. Maybe it was made for commerical use.
