1970's Zenith Chromacolor II w/ retro white case and stand

I have a mid 70's Zenith chroma color II tv that has a white case and matching white stand. It's similar to an Avanti I've seen pics of but is white on the top as well. Any info on it would be appreciated.

Those "vertical chassis" sets made super-nice pictures. That could be a 19EC45 from 1974.

I remember those tuners requiring frequent cleaning to keep making those nice pictures in my fringe reception area.

A few months back someone on here was looking for that model. It was their childhood set if I recall.

I just read that thread. This set was also my childhood-mid 90's set. The version the other poster was looking for had a built in stand. The stand I have is more like a table that the set always sat upon. I never could let it go, it always seemed like something pulled from the set of 2001:A Space Odyssey. It's been carried with me since then. So many memories of watching tv are framed through that set, that and it looks great.
I guess I'll find out if it still works sometime this summer.

I've seen a couple variations of that set... One version is finished front & rear, as to stand in the middle of a room and look good. Not very common... Probably only seen a dozen of them since new.
