Very nice find! You're lucky to find one like it as James said, including that cart! It appears that most CCII's were made in Reynosa after about 1976. That '76 steel cabinet CCII I picked up might even be a Reynosa set. I havn't even pulled the back off it yet. I don't think I've seen any US made CCII's after 1976 though. Either way they are great sets. I think Zenith started building modules in Reynosa Mexico first sometime in the mid 70's, maybe 1973 or 74? and then transitioned TV production down there around 1976/77. Not sure where I read that, but Im pretty sure Reynosa was mainly a module assembly location in the beginnings.
