This Zenith console is an excellent example. Abt 1986 model
based on the 9-214 board. Comb filter, MTS, small jack pack,
27", pop out controls, bass & treble. I am 99% its NOT a Bose.
The exact TV came in dark oak & light oak with a swivel base
that you could leave locked if you wish. Also could get it in
early american pine or maple, mediteranian & a few other
styles I cant remember now. Overkill on cabinets ? NO WAY !
We had the style & the TV to fit almost any taste. They went
for $850. If you took it home & paid cash $800. If we delivered to
N.H. no tax ( $42.50). Sold them by the truck load
(see who was president ). Zenith delivered a great set & we
made $150 not bad...... As for quality 5 yrs ago before we closed
we were pulling these sets to be junked that worked fine
after 20 yrs along with lots of System 3's & CC2's still running.
So maybe for too many years Zenith built sets WAY TO GOOD ?
BTW at $25 I would take it home no matter what the squaw says !
