View Full Version : this was on our back dock this morning
rcaman 10-31-2008, 08:38 PM opening the back doors at the tv shop this morning and there sat a zenith chromacolor 2 it is in great shape i plugged it in and it fired right up. it has the instant on feature. it has the flat chassis in it. the picture on it was without an antenna hooked up. the crt is nice and bright. however i had to turn the horiz hold all one way for it to lock in. these pics. were taken with my cellphone.
zenithfan1 10-31-2008, 08:41 PM Nice! Don't ya love it when they find you! This one was beggin at the back door! Too cool.
meggy 10-31-2008, 08:44 PM Geez. Score, delivered!
rcaman 10-31-2008, 08:45 PM i figured it was headed to the dump when they thought hey lets just leave it here. problem is i have no more room at home for this set.
radiotvnut 10-31-2008, 09:25 PM If I was a little closer, I'd take it off your hands!
zenith2134 10-31-2008, 09:26 PM So would I!
zenithfan1 10-31-2008, 09:42 PM Me too.
drh4683 10-31-2008, 10:30 PM me three. Nice set, especially when its left at your door step! Too bad you don't have the space. Hopefully you can find somone who does!
jetblack 11-01-2008, 06:43 AM I imagine the owner was thinking that he/she was finding it a good home.
marty59 11-01-2008, 10:06 AM At least they were being thoughtful of you! How many times have we've seen ignorance take over any rationality....

That could be the case. There's been many times when I'd find a TV in my carport when I got up in the morning or when I'd come home. I don't know where most of them came from to this day.
kx250rider 11-01-2008, 11:45 AM That looks like a 25EC58Z flat chassis! I bet the original owner got tired of waiting 30+ years for it to quit working so they could buy a new set....

rcaman 11-01-2008, 12:18 PM on the back of the set it said upstairs zenith tv. the model # is at the shop i will post it monday. it does have the flat chassis it it.
mr_fixer 11-01-2008, 01:16 PM Seems like a reverse trick or treat. Strangers show up in the night to leave you a little treat! great picture without an antenna, I even recognize Snook the stoner sloth from that PBS kids show.
Kiwick 11-02-2008, 04:25 PM basically a big mushroom that grew on your door step overnight!

Well I was gonna ask but was afraid to. Looks like Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleuphagus had a love child, and taught it how to do the Go-Go.
Most disturbing...

rcaman 11-04-2008, 11:22 AM here is the model and chassis # model e4748 chassis 25ec58

That was probably the best SS chassis that Zenith built! Oh, that explains why I haven't had many come my way over the years. They are all still working!
JB5pro 11-05-2008, 12:39 AM people who do right by others. Most people I have encountered would rather destroy it than give it to anybody.
rcaman 11-05-2008, 12:23 PM the time before this we had a later chromacolor sitting there and on top was a zenith allegro wedge stereo on top. perfect condition works great minus the 8 track deck. i have the stereo at home. i have 3 of those. but whoever left it didnt leave the speakers.
