So did you get it?!

Yep, it's sitting in my living room and it's in pretty good shape, thanks for the heads up on it

I had the mahogany version of that set, "Irving". VERY stout cabinet.

Glad it found a good home!
I'll probably regret not getting it later.

Another person contacted me aqnd they have a very nice looking 630TS with a stand and magnifier, they are in Queens N.Y.

Anyone interested contact me.

The Zenith "portholes" are nice looking sets.

That would be cool!
I like the grille design on this model.

How many years did Zenith make "portholes" for? (sorry for all the questions)

Electrohome · #14 03-23-2011, 11:00 PM

Zenith made Porthole TVs from 1948 beginning with 10 and 12-inch models to 1951 with 12 inch, 16-inch and 19-inch models for 1951 before going to rectangular CRT sets exclusively for the 1951-52 model year. So all in all, we had 3 years of Zenith Porthole TVs from 1948-51 all together.
