I have that exact same set too. It's just sad when these get gutted...

Was going to reuse that picture I attached long ago in AK where I placed a computer VGA monitor in a cabinet for a RCA CTC19 to make a HDTV console set, but it's disappeared
 ... Was going to say that your Zenith transplant would likely come out looking a lot better.

I have mixed feelings. If I was sentimental about the paperboard Zenith I'd be sad to see it taken apart. I don't care for paperboard either though and the other cabinet is gorgeous. It's your set, roll the dice. You can always save the paperboard cabinet in case you change your mind later.
I was feeling a little guilty about moving a 1-108 Sylvania from a 1-076 cabinet to a 1-128 cabinet even though they both use the same 1-108 chassis. But I'm very sentimental about the 1-128 console and want to see it alive again. John

Too late, I already did it.
In Photoshop™...
  But I was curious if I'd need to adjust the height in photoshop, or if I could maintain the proportions, so I did not allow myself to use any control that didn't keep proportions, and it seems to fit... At least virtually. Why didn't I use a tape measure you ask? Because the other set is stored at another house, and that would be a hassle.  What if I gave the cheap cabinet to a needy VK'er who has the same model with a trashed cabinet? Then no TVs are lost.  True, I hate hot-rods. But this isn't a '42 Desoto with a stupid camaro subframe and small block Chevy. This is more like using a 228 cubic-inch 6 cyl, from 1941, vs. the proper 236 ci. 6. My last conversion still gets compliments:  (I didn't trash the Porthole! It was done before I bought it!) But I am decent with a sawzall...  Either way, you needn't worry for a while. For now I've got way too many home destruct... err, "improvement" projects going on to find time for something fun like a TV!  For now nothing will be going inside it but little RubberMaid® tubs full of DVDs and CDs.

Nice conversion with that cabinet there Mr. Carmine.
Much better than any of those g** damned assemble it yourself particle board crap stands and cabinets from wally world and ikea et al. I've got a boat load of very nice CRT table top sets but can not seem to run across a previously gutted cabinet that is suitable for a conversion. BTW that hardwood floor is stunning!

Shoot sorry Doug I totally missed your post a while back on this. My set uses the 23XC36 chassis with the SC600.
