Pictured is a 1973, 25DC58 chassis:

on THAT note::
WHY aren't there any "40bc50 sets??
I have NEVER seen one, nor has anyone else. Even if they were a "low run" set like the RCA2000, SOMEONE should have seen , or have one. After all, less than 2000 2000's were made, and I own 2 of them, and others here have a few too--and they"pop up" every now and then anymore.
OR...was the "40BC0 only a "field test set", and not marketed?? That would make the 25cc55, from 1972, the first SS Zenith color set(the 1M30T20 was their first SS BW set, IIRC. and the 1Y21B55 19" was the first line-powered SS bw set,(which I ALSO have never seen--and DEEPLY desire) from 1968.)
