Very rarely do I pick up a zenith system 3. I found at the thrift store yesterday a nice 1982 table set with the IR remote. The set is near mint and worked great. Im pretty sure 82 is the first year for all zeniths being on IR remotes. this one came with its original remote which was a selling feature to me.
Its got a on screen display problem. As you can see in the one photo, half of the OSD is off the screen, so I cannot see what time it is, or what channel Im on. The width of the raster is perfect, just the OSD is too far over to the right. What can be done to correct this? Is it a common problem?
Thanks

If I remember right there is an adjustment pot on the tuner control module as long as the picture is of normal width and not cut off on the sides.

Got it! That was it, slight readjustment of the pot brought it back perfect. Thanks again!
