RCA was huge, but their radios were Chevrolets. Zenith radios were Cadillacs.

Zenith Tvs were the best in their heyday. My parents bought a 1970 model. We had it on from morning 🌄 until night. It had vacuum tubes, but it was the very best.

My dad bought our first color TV in the early 70s. It was a 23 inch console Zenith TV. The largest size was 25" back then. <br>If you wanted the best, you got a zenith.

Thank you for this story. I have had several Zenith TV sets.

good article, but way too much "background" music, which in many parts got way too loud, partially covering up the voice.
