Some of them have been free, but for the most, I haven't gone over $20 to $25. I do like the looks of this set, though, and will look into whether it is transformer powered. Thanks again.

I had the same set, many years ago. IIRC, it's a series string, voltage doubler design. I think it has 450ma tubes, which was unusual for Zenith.
Asking price is a little high, as the set's a little grubby. It's also, a high hours set. $20 sounds about right.
BTW, where are you located?
