Now that cool Zenith sign definitely brings back memories of my growing up years. I was 11 years old in 1970 and it was also the year that my family got our first color TV - a Zenith console. Thanks for posting it.

The fates have not been so kind to Zenith. Back in the day, if you wanted a good TV, Zenith was it. But now they are just a shadow of their former selves. Same goes for RCA.

We always had Zenith's. I think I even remember this sign, or at least one that was Identical. Thanks for posting

A very effective (and neat) alternative way to achieve Las Vegas style decorative lighting.
