I am still looking for an all tube 60's color TV

the style looks 60's but the TV looks later

It looks like an early 80s Zenith system 3 set stuck in a mid-late 60s cabinet (not a Zenith cabinet, Magnavox maybe?)

ah so someone has already "fixed" it.

I like that wood work.

I had a couple more that looked promising by description, but alas more late 70's stuff, one was a Curtis Mathis (the whole kitchen sink, cassette, 8 track, record player, disposal, etc... very nice condition but not what I wanted.

and then a Maggie (I got excited when the descripion included roll away doors), but another anitque white with late 70's looking set.

oh well still waiting to hear back on a roundie maggie console up in TN. I keep hoping to find something closer so I don't feel the need to make that drive.

Yep, the control door gives it away. It's an early '80's solid state set.

THats so lame when people do that to a classic vintage TV.. I ran into that here a few weeks back myself. mid 60's Zenith roundie cabinet with a 1989 25" Zenith shoehorned into the cabinet...

A friend of mine had an early '70's 25" Heathkit color TV that he built. By the mid '90's, the CRT had developed cataracts and the yoke was bad. The TV was housed in a nice cabinet with doors. He took out the old heathkit TV and stuck a mid '70's steel cabinet Zenith CCII in it's place and sold the whole thing for $150. He couldn't have gotten near that much for the Zenith by itself. Had I been into collecting TV's back them like I am now, I would have tried to save the Heathkit in it's original form.
