drh is the Space Command expert and should chime in on this. Note, I am fairly certain that this is actually a "Space Command 400" but the zeroes broke off. (like the way many old Silvertone radios became "Silverton's")

Zenith had its act together on these sets. They were producing a very good chassis by this time. One thing I have noticed is that the crt's they were making at that time were'nt all that great-every one I've had in a Zenith was weak.

Aha. Yes, I think there's evidence of the missing 00's in the dust marks. I was having a heckuva time finding a Space Command 4 remote. I'm seeing some Space Command 400 remotes though! Thanks bg.

I've lost count of all the Capehart table radios on eBay that were "apeharts". Same story.

I'll tear it down sometime soon & figure out the UHF tuner and test the CRT. Still stuck in the middle of the philco on another thread, gotta get that one strightened out first.

Good save. Its a shame it got stuck out in the rain. That set is a 1958 model and should have the 19A20Q chassis. The correct remote is the piano key space command 400. Those are kind of hard to come by.
