Picture of the last Zenith B&W console from '81

[radiotvnut]

I was doing some more digging in my Sams and came upon set 2016-3, which covers what I believe to be the last Zenith 22" B&W set. The Sams folder is dated 9/81 and covers models M221W1, M222W1, M223P1. These all use the 22MB1X chassis and "M" tells us that this set is from the '81 model year. I don't know if all three of these models are consoles; but, the picture below is of the model M223P1. Maybe someone who has access to Zenith sales information from this period can tell us what type of cabinet these other two models are housed in. This set uses a 22VBAP4 CRT and is constructed on a single board chassis. I'm very lucky to have a 22" Sylvania B&W console from '78; but, would feel even luckier if I could find one of these last Zenith models. I'm sure finding one of these would be very difficult, as I'm sure very few of these were actually sold and the ones that were sold have long since gone to the dump. Audubon5425 and myself were discussing an article that he found and I think it stated that Zenith discontinued it's production of large screen B&W sets in '81. Heck, this is probably the last B&W console that was offered in the US.
