Thanks Ken!! I loved it from these pics, but to see it in person blew me away. The pics don't even do it justice. Thanks for all your help, including getting me to Mark L., an amazing collector and a true gentleman. Working with him was an absolute pleasure.

I know what you mean -- a 6263/6265 was my goal for 2011, and I pulled the trigger within the first week!

Can't wait to see pics of your 6239!!

Ha! would love to post full set pic, but my cell phone camera doesn't do this beauty justice & we're still figuring out the new camera I got my wife for Christmas! Once I learn how to use it, I'll post a full set shot!

I know what you mean... I was searching for the right 6263 for 6 months until I stumbled across mark... He hooked me up within a week!!

Alright until the full set pics.. I'd love to see some side by side shots of your zenith and vintage?
