It seems that Zenith CCII's were made later than we thought
I always thought the Zenith "K" line ('79) was the end of the line for the vertical chromacolor II chassis. Well, I was looking over my Sam's Photofact manuals tonight and found that, in Sams 1912-2 (6/80), there is a 23" Zenith single knob tuned console that uses the 23LC45 vertical CCII chassis. The "L" line tells me that it's from the 1980 model year and the photofact folder list 14 different models that this chassis was used in (all 23" screen sizes). I did a search of the online photofact index and it appears that the 23LC45 was the only CCII chassis offered for the '80 model year. I'm sure this "last gasp" CCII was simply an effort to offer an entry level console by using up the remaining CCII parts. Does anyone here have one of these "L" line CCII's in their collection?
