That Zenith will be harder to find a home for, but it is a 1966 model, just a year before color matched BW in sales volume. All the US manufacturers seemed to stop making "built" BW sets after that, especially consoles. I had two 23" Zeniths using that chassis in the early 80's and sold them both for $35 just to get them into good homes with poor old folks who wanted a reliable set, had cable but could care less about color. A customer you will not find anywhere today.
Console BW sets are of particular interest to guys like myself, half of whose favorite TV shows were plain 'ol BW. I just read elsewhere how I can connect a DVD player's "green Y jack" and audio to a cheap modulator and broadcast BW w/o color subcarriers, etc a short distance on channel 13. I can even introduce a bit of snow or ghost (complete with a horiz blanking bar) for a total retro look.
