Zenith Royal 1290 solid state B&W portable

[maxm]

I got this set today at the Antique Radio Club of Illinois sale.
The person I bought it from said he worked for Zenith in the 1970s and 80s.
He said he wasn't there yet when this set was designed, but knew of its significance.

This set is in worn condition, but complete, and working. After a good cleaning it will look better. I will post some better pictures once it is cleaned all up. The quality of this set is really amazing, even the cabinet has a nice design for the back that makes it look a step above the tube sets of the time.

Earlier this week I watched the video Doug posted on YouTube of his set, so it was nice to find one just a few days later.

I know these are rare sets, I wonder if anybody here has one besides Doug?
