Yep it does have an '80's look to it.
I have an '84 XL100, essentially the same cabinet, just really dark pine finish, electronic tuner, and charcoal colored crt.

They sure didn't change cabinets all that much throughout the years.
Damn shame they didn't make them longer in the Danish modern style. When I was growing up we had an RCA b/w console in the Danish modern style. Absolutely gorgeous. Wish I had it now. I'd pay good money for another one.

I have to say I have a Zenith System 3 TV set from 1988 which still works fine and I may be wrong but I think the Color Sentry automatic color on those sets included automatic color temperature adjustment and many other adjustments. It is really neat to have such a feature on the TV. TV manufacturers have abandoned automatic color and I think that is wrong. It was a nice thing to have on the TV. RCA's Colortrak automatic color was neat too.
