That's interesting, Chad, since in the '50s-'60s Zenith did make a table radio (model K-731) in an Early American cabinet, one version of which had legs. Several of our members, including myself, have at least one of these, and boy, they do look nice when shined up. You have a good point, though, as to Zenith's high-fidelity stereo and stereo/TV combination sets. I've never yet seen a Zenith Allegro stereo in an Early American cabinet either. If they could fit a 7-tube radio chassis into such a cabinet, why not a full-size stereo, with or without TV? Hmmm. Doesn't seem right to me. The Early American cabinet design makes a very fine piece of furniture; why Zenith chose not to use these cabinets with their consoles is way beyond me.
