Yep, seen a few of those. In fact, there's one on my trash pile right now. The flyback shorted and took the HOT and voltage regulator with it. The CRT was questionable as well. I decided to lay it to rest.

P.S. -- If anyone reading this wants a later model upright console, seek out an RCA with the CTC169 chassis. I still see these from time to time and the CRT's are almost always strong and the chassis is usually easy to fix.

Yep! They made similar models in 27" and 32" sizes. This is a better set than Zenith ever thought about being from that time period. IMHO, the CTC169 was one of the better RCA Thomson era chassis.
