16" Metal Zenith Color

Went to the estate sale in Skokie on Oakton today and bought a Zenith metal portable color set. It has a 16Z8C19 chassis. I'm very excited to get this set, as it is the only metal cabinet color tube Zenith that I have. It does have a solid state IF and four transistors. But doesn't use an IC for color demod, like another Zenith portable that I have. The back had a large dent, that came close to hitting the CRT neck. I wonder what the story was behind that. I was able to remove fairly well with a rubber mallet. Inside was surprisingly very clean. Unfortunately, the top of the 6LB6 horz out came un-soldered.

Also picked up a vintage Wow meter. Probably will never be able to find any info on this thing, but it was too cool looking to pass up.
