I remember seeing a Zenith TV something like the one in this thread some years ago, in a TV shop in my hometown; hideaway screen and all. This was also around 1981 or perhaps '80. Never saw the set in operation, but it was the only example I ever saw, until now, of the model under discussion here. That model must have been very limited production; that or else the poor picture drove away potential buyers. I would almost be tempted to say that this design was even more short-lived than the Zoom and Space Phone features of some Zenith console TVs of the same era, but won't as I really don't know how many of the projection sets with the retractable screen were made.
