I was thinking the same thing. A roundie set, but in an ugly overdone 1970s-style cabinet. All it is missing is some "fake drawer" handles. If the C-M cabinets were in fact good quality in the mid-1960s, maybe all of those wood-looking doodads are real and not plastic as they all were in the 1970s.

This is also the first non-combo Curtis Mathes color set I have seen.

Didn’t Zenith get the patent on magnetic convergence before RCA?
