Rob:

I hope that you don't mind if I post a picture of a non-round color TV but this is Zenith's first rectangular tube set. My parents bought this set new in late 1965 (1966 model) and it is the set that I grew up with. When I was in Wisconsin a few weeks ago I got it working again and we watched a couple of play-off games on it and it worked fine. This is the actual set that got me into the TV repair business. In highschool I had the bright idea that I could make it work better but that didn't work. To make a long story short I ended up getting a job at the TV store from where it was purchased. That was still my best job, a lot better than college professor!

By the way, thankfully my folks got rid of all the Early American furniture except for the TV!
