Zenith Space Command 600

[67Zenith]

That is a beautiful cabinet. Definitely made between 1970 and 1972. These "French Provincial" styles of cabinetry disappeared after the early 1970s, as tastes in furniture dictated console TV cabinet styles. "Ultra modern" and "early American" were the two main choices as the mid-late 70s progressed into the early 80s (not my favorites, I would never want to own an ultra modern or an early American i.e. colonial cabinet, I think both styles are ugly, I much prefer the "danish modern" and the "French provincial" styles and craftmanship from the 1960s-72). Apparently, the elderly lady you mention, who first owned this set, kept the cabinet in wondeful condition. It's too bad that she opted to have a conversion done but also bear in mind that the cabinet is genuine American workmanship and that deserves tons of good merits over the black plastic Chinese junk that today's flat sceens are made from (and they all look alike - there are no "styles" anymore). I would keep this great old Zenith if I were you. Maybe you can use it to run your DVDs, as a daily user. I am a purist but I do have one converted Zenith console that I use for DVDs (the cabinet and control panel are all original but the chasis is 2007) and I have other Z and RCA Victors that are entirely original (cabinets & chasis) and I am always looking for more from 1967-72, which I will keep totally original (they become my personal museum pieces). Long live vintage Zeniths!
