The Zenith is currently in another room where it doesn't belong and can't stay. If it doesn't go in the living room, I would have to pay for a storage unit or get rid of it. Everything else is full!
The whole reason for wanting a 60's console is the mid-century styling as well as the love for old TVs. This set is made of real wood, unlike the more modern stuff. The sets from the 70s through the 2000s just look like junk to me, sorry. I may just drop $10 on a modern 25" set just to see how difficult it would be to retrofit into my console case. Again, the Zenith is a "use it or loose it" situation, I love tubes and would love to have this thing as part of the "collection" but the living room set is more of an appliance at this point so I'm just trying to see if there's an easy way to make things work. Look at it this way, I'm buying the newer Zenith like you suggest, and hiding it in a 1960s case that is stored (in the living room) until I get time to work on the project set. THIS SET WILL GO BACK TOGETHER at some point, I have 3 pictures tubes and 2 chassis for it, so please don't misunderstand my intent.
For now I'm really just hoping to hear from someone who knows if any other CRTs from the 70s, 80s, 90s, or 2000s will mate up to the mask designed for a 23" color CRT. Anyone?
