Haha, I must be on 99% of y'alls' ignore list anyway

What? Why do you say that? Your opinion is as important, and as valuable, as anyone else's. Seriously. You (and Brenda) raise a good point: some Zenith chassis are quite roomy underneath, plus no bakelite block capacitors to restuff. And the rubber-coated wiring is just as much of a pain in 1939-42 Philcos. But that stuff just makes the repair of these sets more fun, right?

there is thread after thread started about "Brand Z" models and it's so prolific some just refer to the model number and not even the make

I've noticed that, too.

So...why hasn't someone started up a Zenith Forum yet? Or a "Zenith Radio.com" website? (No, I'm not about to get involved with something like that! This website is already too much work for one person.) Just out of curiosity, I looked...someone is sitting on the "zenithradio.com" domain name but is not using it for an actual website.
