Anyone recognize this Zenith Space Phone?

Received a photo of this set, a large, but very impressive, Zenith, apparently with Space phone, and lots of controls on the front.....

Anyone out there know anything about this particular model (I didn't get the model number)?

Thanks! Harry

Looks like it's missing a door to cover the TV controls. Perfect set for boombox collectors.

It looks to me like a Zenith "Smart Set" from the mid-1980s. (I saw an ad for this set, or one like it, on YouTube recently.) These sets had high-fidelity audio systems (note the very large speakers on either side of the CRT), 25-inch screen, and a remote that could switch among four video inputs, among other refinements not found in Zenith's 25-inch consoles as recently as 1981. If one wanted a TV in 1984 that was much more than just a television (and could afford the huge price tag that went with it), this model was it. I'm sure one could connect a stereo system to it as well, making a 1984 version of what is now known as a home theater setup.

My first thought exactly!

I'd say it's from the '82-'84 period.
