Opened box??? Yeup, there goes the resale value ;) Hope the electrolytics didn't leak.

Amazing find!

Is that the Seeburg background music system in the background?

[drh4683]

@rivest266 It is indeed Seeburg background music!

I would have been tempted to inhale every molecule of the air from that packaging!! "Zenith factory smell" - (kinda like new car smell, only nostalgic).

I yearn for the days of a proud and productive United States of America, of which Zenith was among the best!! Old-world serviceable electronics, the ultimate in environmental protection and recycling, in what is now a disposable electronics-driven world. Thanks Doug for your efforts in keeping the memory of a productive America alive!!

Deal

It is very rare to find a new old stock peace of electronic history like this, I recently bought a IBM ps/2 brand new for 500 bucks good desl

I feel dirty...in a warm and fuzzy kind of way. It's like undressing the virgin in a slow, methodical manner in a 60's porno. Absolutely great stuff!!! I love the fact that the music moves into a light and bouncy march as the packaging finally comes off. :)

I noticed that when you showed the battery compartment foam it actually looked like it had the imprint of  the batteries on it. That is strange, I wonder do you think this was a factory refurbish or a return that was reboxed and sold as new?

Nice to see the owner's manual in English and not ten thousand different languages. The way it should be.

Excellent find!  I know Zenith still manufactured their TransOceanic line of radios in the USA until the final model when during production they switched to Taiwan. Zenith used to build some really quality stuff.

Brand new-Being in a fresh and unused condition; completely new.

40 years old makes this not brand new

@78Point26 ha ha ha, yep he does sound like Mike Bullard. I didn't know who he was but I cut and pasted his name in the search box and yep, he came up. Sounds just like him. This guy is awesome though isn't he? His TV collection is outstanding and he repaired each one of them. Even though he never answers any of my question even after I submit them numerous times, I still think he would make a great president. After all, I'm just one of his insignificant fans.
