The Zenith is probably a 1968-'69 Space Command 600, and is probably all or mostly tubes. Doug, drh4683 in Chicago, has (or used to have) one of these. This set also appeared in the living-room scenes in the later episodes ('68-'69, near the series' end) of the TV series Bewitched, seen these days in reruns at four p.m. EST on WGN America.

This is the first time I've ever seen an RCA XL-100 combo myself, as most sets in this series were TV only.

Anyone in Michigan (or anywhere else in the eastern or midwestern US) wanting the TVs or the stereo console in that CL listing is going to have quite a long trip, as they are all in Wyoming.

My best guess is that the stereos in these got the most use. I bet the TV sections of those consoles weren't used much until cable arrived (or the owner put up a huge motorized antenna to get stations from Colorado, Arizona, etc.) as I don't think there were that many TV stations in the entire state of Wyoming, even as recently as the '70s.
