If my experience with early 60s Zenith HiFi tells me the ratings given in these manuals is honest, the later solid state ratings give much pause!
If this console was a special item in the 1965 line-up, maybe if you already could get 25" rectangular why settle for a 21" round
I bet this amp sealed the deal when someone heard the stereo part, TV being a 25MCXX was the last wider-chassis 21" set, which this cabinet could certainly accommodate.
New for 65 (?) was the solid state TOTL Zenith chassis 8MT25 where two (121-270) in push-pull and a 55 volt single-ended power supply = 120 watts ??? I have restored damn near the same chassis in an RCA and Maggie TOTL model already
