if they saw color on that one, maybe it was 3-D too?

Well, there's a mahogany toned cabinet, green screen, brownish gray CRT bezel,
gold emblem on the controls door, lots of colors in fact...

'Color by EASTMoN': wonder if they were bothered by the big
corporation in Rochester, NY. What a lame product!

Oh, Dear God....This is why I say only those of us who KNOW & CARE about these things should be allowed to have them...

It's a pleasing wrong, though... It somehow doesn't bother me as much as all those 1929 Philco Predictas that show up.

And those 'nearly 100 years old' superheterodyne radios with octal tubes.

That roundie Zenith "entertainment center" is probably fairly rare. It would have been rather expensive new, and by now there are a lot less of them existing.

You would at least think that if it was in working condition as they say they would know it wasn't a color set. Could this be a scammer of some sort? He hasn't answered any of my inquiries.
