That one did not have "chromacolor II" or "solid state" stamped on it. It just had "Zenith". I wonder if there were any '80 model CCII's?

I remember seeing those 23" Zeniths at K-mart, as a kid in the 80s and thinking how OLD they looked even then (of course that just made me want one).

I also remember seeing an '82 or '83 model with remote and cable ready tuner that had a 23" tube and the 9-181/9-186 type chassis that replaced the 9-160 style chassis.

I had one of these about 8 yrs. ago. Mine had the remote and was a good working set. It was still working fine when I gave it to a family that had lost everything inm a house fire about 4 yrs. ago. The last time I saw them they were still using it as a daily watcher.
