1980s home theater?

Anyone out there know anything about this particular model (I didn't get the model number)?
Thanks! Harry

It looks to me like a Zenith "Smart Set" from the mid-1980s. (I saw an ad for this set, or one like it, on YouTube recently.) These sets had high-fidelity audio systems (note the very large speakers on either side of the CRT), 25-inch screen, and a remote that could switch among four video inputs, among other refinements not found in Zenith's 25-inch consoles as recently as 1981. If one wanted a TV in 1984 that was much more than just a television (and could afford the huge price tag that went with it), this model was it. I'm sure one could connect a stereo system to it as well, making a 1984 version of what is now known as a home theater setup.
