The 288 is a great performer, but I've never seen one in anything except the big art-deco tombstone cabinet:

Unfortunately, like Terry said, it looks like your cabinet is an amputee.

I'll look through my Zenith literature later today and make sure I don't see a console version.

The 288's aren't too easy to find. I sold one about 20 years ago and almost immediately regretted it. Since then I have only seen two for sale and one of those I bought.
