The main Los Angeles Zenith TV dealer from the 50s to the 90s was Ham the Zenith Man on Venice Blvd between Inglewood Bl. and Grand View Bl. The store used to occupy the whole block-long building, but began to subdivide and shrink in the 80s. When it finally quit in the mid 90s, it was down to 1 small corner of the building. All that remains now is the big rotating ZENITH sign, which I should go take a picture of before they knock it down. I'll try to do that ASAP, but I seldom go down there in the daytime due to traffic problems.
Here's a link to a similar sign; not sure if they had another branch, or maybe this was a billboard and not the actual store location. Doesn't look just right to me.
