Here is the latest local find. Picked this 1972 zenith set up at the resale shop for $15. When I spotted it as I approached the stack of tvs, I thought I found a space command..........NO, but who cares this is a cool set! Its like brand new inside and out. Kind of a nicer cabinet with two tone dial plate, gold and brown! Its got the cool "T" style VHF knob which is my favorite one they used for portables. All tube of course 14B38Z. The inside of the cabinet was hand dated at the factory 11-13-72,the manuals indicate this chassis for 1973 sets.
It worked well, but UHF had no B+ due to a disconnected wire from the chassis! However, the inside of the set was loaded with dry grey "clean" dust which is a sign of it being in a good environment all the years. All original tubes, and all are still good, even the 13Z10 was strong!
