estate sale finds again, for 2004

[rca2000]

Yes-- Zenith DID make console stereos all the way through the 1960's- into the late '70', I think.

1964 was the first year for the solid-state AMP and PREAMP form Zenith. It was in their top-of-the-line console, and the tuner section was still tubes.( I own a roundie color combo with this setup- chassis # 25lc20qs(TV), 11l8t25( tuner), and 8lt25(amp). Most of the other Zenith stereo products in '64 were still all tube In '65, they still had the hybrid setup, but in '66, they went to all-solid-state, for most of their consoles

This information is NOT a guess- it comes from a number of Zenith hi-fi manuals I have, ranging from the early 60's,(1962 is the oldest), into the mid 70's.
