I'm pretty sure that this is one of the first System 3's from '78 or maybe early '79. I have had several Zenith's with this cabinet style; but, none had that stand. They just had wheels that enabled the TV to be rolled around like any other console.

This was a very popular cabinet style for Zenith. It was used from the mid '70's through the mid '80's. There were chromacolor II's, 1st generation sys 3's, 2nd gen sys 3's, and 3rd gen sys 3's all housed in that same style cabinet. Some versions were remote and the later versions had a cable ready tuner.

If you find one; I hope it uses the older chromacolor II chassis. The system 3's are cheaper made and the inline CRT's they use are often weak by now. The chromacolor II's are built on a steel chassis with plug in modules and the delta gun CRT's are almost always good. IMHO, the CCII's are also easier to repair.
