In search of Zenith 19" White Pedestal TV and/or info

[Machead]

All,
Hello. I'm trying to find as much information as I can about a particular Zenith TV from the late 70s. I am a collector of vintage computer equipment, primarily Apple, but also some early TI and Atari consoles. Since most of the early consoles were designed to be hooked up to a television set, I've decided I'd like a working period-correct color TV set for my collection. And, since nostalgia is one of the driving forces behind this hobby, I'm considering going whole hog and finding MY period-correct color TV set, the same model I used with all my vintage consoles back when they were brand new. So...

What I already know:

- It was a 19-20" Zenith color set, white plastic with a tall white pedestal, all one piece. Manual knob tuners.

- It was in my childhood home from 1977(78?)-1984.

- Someone recently sold one on eBay, and I've attached the picture from the eBay auction.


What I'm looking for:

- ideally, a working model, or one that is in good cosmetic and repairable condition

- an idea of rarity and value (The one on eBay sold for $325. That's a fair bit more than I might have expected for a 70s TV. Is this set particularly rare or valuable?)

- a model number or other identifying information that would help in my search (F408 came up a couple times in my search efforts so far, but I've been unable to confirm this is correct)

- some idea of the reliability/repairability of this model. I remember our set never had any trouble, but we didn't have it that long before we replaced it with a TV that had a remote.

I'm in Minnesota, and have traveled throughout the Plains/Midwest to pick up vintage computers.

Thanks for your time. I've been exploring the forums for the last couple of days; this is an amazing resource.
