Zenith 3 space command. Saw it and was instantly brought back to my youth. Grandpa and Grandma had this wood grained big screen in the living room.

Is there any use or value to it? Supposedly still works just can't find the remote

What is the buyer pool for that?

I can’t imagine anyone wanting it.

You used "The Force" to change channels, we were too dumb to make that work.

It has zero value as a TV. It’s only worth anything if you want take the time to repurpose it as an aquarium or a bar, or some other piece of furniture.

There may still be a small group of Hobbyists of the Radio/TV genre who would enjoy having this. Before all TV signals switched to Digital, it was possible to watch TV on these old sets.

Isn't there some kind of Digital Converter that can be utilized to make this TV set work? If so, there would be some interest in this old TV set, if you can find a Hobbyist that would be interested.

Makes for a great tv stand for your flat screen. That's what my dad did when his broke and he bought a new tv.

The viewing angle was better too from his lazy boy.

We had a TV much like that when I was a kid. Of course, like literally everything else in our house other than groceries, it came from Sears & Roebuck.

Tubes, CRT and flyback transformers haven't seen or worked on one in decades. Don't plug it in, dust, corrosion and component age can create quite a lot of smoke and high voltage sparks.

Nerds and gamers would want it. Old gaming consoles look better on old TV's. There is definitely a market for it with them.

Anyone here remember Zammit radio and TV repair shop from back in the day? It was on Plank Rd or Scenic Hwy in Baton Rouge.

We had a similar model in our wood-panel-walled den, with wooden end tables, a fabric sofa bed, a reddish brown carpet, a dark brown lazy boy, and three wooden bookshelves (one of which had a bar built in). My dad still has the bookshelves. That was such a relaxing room to take a nap in when you stayed home from school sick as a dog.

A family member of mine gave my dad an old console TV back in the day. I was just coming of age where I was begging for a TV of my own for my bedroom. That SOB had to weigh 700lbs and trying to move that big bastard upstairs to my bedroom is something I'll never forget.
