Photos, Maybe?
AH! The cabinet is Italian Provincial. You are correct that this thread needs pictures. The grill cloth is still in one piece after all these years. It houses a 25" Zenith at the moment. I had a 25" System 3 in a wood table model cabinet that was a perfect fit but it was at a summer vacation home that burned in 2001. Next year may be the year I fix up a 46" LCD to rise up from behind it and re-outfit it with stereo equipment. All it has left is a belt drive turntable with no belt.

Thanks for those pictures, very interesting. Might you have any pictures from when it contained the 21" set? I'd like to see pictures of the current install, photos of the set from behind, controls, etc. if it isn't too much hassle.

Pictures
Not very pretty at the moment. Just a 11 year old 25: table model shoved in. The 21" roundie was in it till about 1989. It was a 1964? model. It was prior to the 67 model my parents had where the controls were under the picture tube.
Somewhere I have some photos of the original set up. I had a Dynaco preamp and tuner under left lid and a turntable under the right. The power amp was in the bottom of the cabinet. If my memory is correct, the top of the home theater line of Zenith back in 63-64 also had the separate power amp mounted there. I think it was a tube type power amp. and they needed to get it away from the tuner. BTW, By 1966 the top of the line Zenith home theater came with a 160 watt EIA (320w peak) power amp all solid state. Plus 8 speakers, 2-12” woofers, two exponential horns and 4-3 ˝ inch tweeters. I later updated my system to Pioneer Dolby ProLogic equipment. Speakers were for tv only as I had a pair of 12" Electrovoice "Voice of the Theater" speakers in 10 cu. ft. cabinets on either side. I saw the cabinet plans in a magazine in the 60's and the local lumber company built them for about $30 each. I was young and didn't have a clue that 10 cubic feet was the size of a small refrigerator. Had to take the door to my bedroom off it's hinges to get them in. With the windows open and the system cranked up, you could hear it 2 blocks away. No wonder my dad took a promotion that kept him on the road 4 nights a week. Will scan and post when I run across one.
