Does anyone have a picture of the box that the Z-150 and/or ZKB-2 came with? I have a SWA4300 box, but it just struck me that I've never seen a ZKB-2 or Z-150 box before, ever.

I could've sworn I've seen a boxed one before - perhaps just a Z-150, but can't find any images right now. If I recall, it's basically the same as the SWA4300 but white, with lines running down the box, like on this manual:

I wonder if there's just this giant cache of Zenith's in the back of some old government warehouse just waiting to be discovered.

Would not suprise me. Another reason may be that most of these shipped as complete home computer systems. Still Zenith must have offered replacement keyboards in their own boxes.

This complete zenith system with orgininal packaging was listed ages ago. Some one bought only the keyboard leaving the rest to fester on ebay.

Here is how the ZKB-2 was packed with a complete system:

Right, just like I thought, Zenith just had it in the larger box with the rest of the system. But there must have been single /replacement keyboards.

That cardboard sleeve looks exactly like the one I got in recently - cool, now I know what what those were packaged in (and what the slot at the top left was for), but like Seebart said, I'm sure they packaged these in keyboard only-boxes as well for replacement purposes. REALLY curious what those would've looked like. Zenith had quite a knack for styling.
