Talking Just Saved/Bought a Zenith!!!

I have been on the look out for a Zenith because i know they are said to last forever and after getting my first vintage TV a Color 12in Sears from 1977 i even wanted a Zenith more. Today i went to a local thrift store NOT going there to look for anything like that as my parents said NO more tv's (I only have 4) But being this is wear i found my Sears set i just had to look and sure anuff There sits a 12in Zenith with a red led channel display when i first saw it i thought it was from the late 70's to mid 80's but then i saw a RF jack on it so i know it was newer then that it turns out it was made in mar.1990 a little bit newer then i wanted but it Seems hard to find any Zenith's wear i am. But then i saw "All TV's $10.98" and i was not going to buy it because i got my sears from the same store for $5 and that was a hi-end model at the time Then as i walk away from the zenith i known i would regret it if i left it there and it would be trashed so i went back over and plugged it in to there analog Cable Line and turned it on and WOW what a crisp colorful picture it made i then sat there and watched it for 20min and it works great so i ended up buying it Because it was a Zenith and had a very good picture i would have liked a Zenith from the 60's or 70's but this will do I Know i did not save a very old set but there are not menny Zenith's left around hear so every one counts it says on the back something like made zenith illinois and the model # (Or chass #?) S1302B but then we went to another thrift store just up the street and i found a 80's-or early 90's Zenith VCR this was only $3 i plugged it in and put in a tape and it sounded like it was playing it (They have no tv's to try it with) and being a Zenith it was not a hard choice to make if i was going to buy it. At the first thrift store they had some console tvs as well they look like 70's to early 80's one was a RCA XL-100 mayby 25in if you want to know the name and address of the thrift store please send me a PM I will post photos of the Zenith Tomorrow or Monday
