Trying to remember a Zenith Stereo
#1

I thought I would try posting in this section as the unit I am thinking of is indeed a stereo. I can recall trying to get one of these off eBay years ago, but the prices were always high. I also saw one in the flesh about five years ago, but it was being worked on for a customer at the shop.
I am at least wanting to research one of these, so here goes with a description. What I am taking about is a Zenith, table stereo. From what I recall it had speakers that folded shut across the front, had the AM-FM tuner as well as a phonograph that unfolded from the front (once the speakers were opened up of course!). It is a full tube unit, no transistors that I can recall. Also, it looks a bit like an old TV from the back as it has a molded back due to using the tube chassis. Now, does anyone here know what I am talking about?  Icon_eh Trying to do a Google search just makes me want to pick up this laptop and fling it out the window! Icon_lolno

Don't know if it is a tube or ss.

That one sure looks like an old TV when it's folded up! Gotta be it!

That's it! Thank you! Icon_clap   It is a 10 tube unit from what I just found out. Looks like it's basically my small console Zenith Stereo packed into a table case. Definitely uses the same output tubes. If only that one on eBay was closer to me.. Icon_think

If you're going to the Kutztown show DKinYork over on ARF lives in York. Dennis may be able to help you out.

I doubt I'll be able to make Kutztown. Usually I end up working that weekend no matter what I do. That and the van still needs work. Got some of it done now, but with no garage we are at the mercy of the weather!

No matter where you go, there you are.
