I picked up some binders of Zenith manuals, which cover B&W Zeniths 53-66. After going through those, I now know my new Zenith is a '66. The years I gave for my other 4 Zeniths were correct. I had assumed the cabinet of my other '66 was specific to the year, but I saw pictures of that cabinet used on earlier pre-uhf models. It seems that cabinet was perhaps just a used for a more deluxe model with 2 speakers over several years.

My new Zenith is now working. The lack of vertical just turned out to be a dirty hold control. But I still recapped all the electrolytics and replaced those vertical integrators (which I've found to be a common problem in these sets). I also had a sound problem, the sound would intermittently go soft and be replaced by a loud buzzing. It turned out to be the 6J10 tube itself. You could actually see something rattling around in the tube. All the remote stuff worked as found (although I didn't get this set with it's remote). I still have to try and line up the channel number light better, I can never seem to get those to project the number right in the center of the window like they should...
