Zenith roundie ad in September 1962 Golf magazine - the earliest Zenith roundie ad I have seen.

1962 Was when their first consumer color chassis 29JC20 came out. I've got one and seen a few, but I can't say I've seen one with the remote option....Can't be many around.

Here's the same set, in living color. This is an amazing chassis as the CRT needs no convergence, purity, or lateral hardware! LOL.
The ones I worked on weren't quite this glitzy, but it was a good solid chassis. Phil |

Looks like it doesn't need a deflection yoke either... amazing Zenith engineering!

Nice looking set. How dependable were they? I know the B&W's were bulletproof.

The set was probably ten years old at the time and the picture was still excellent, with the original RCA CRT. I still don't know what the difference was between the 21FKP22 and the 21FJ. The FK was the CRT that was in Zeniths of the era! :scratch2: |

Thanks! I'll write the model down on my small list for when I decide to fix a color set. Maybe not as attractive of a cabinet as some RCA's but still real nice.

convergence adj coils & the conv yoke. Other than that physically of tank ruggedness. Reliable & gives a great pix. Different than RCA & its clones. A matter of taste. Most of these sets got junked in the early 70's. Mostly a matter of getting the big rectangle pix & built in UHF, not from being run into the ground. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |
The first ad wouldn't have sold me on one of those. I mean, come on, golf? The only games I've found entertaining were played by Adam Sandler. Well, Brent, Hank and Lacey added a little fun to the game as well.

I have heard the following story on Zenith TVs ever since I've been into old TVs. Anybody know if its true, or just a good story ?!? Supposedly, Cdr McDonald was not gonna get into TV, as he thought it was a passing fad. But, when NOBODY was gaining on sales of TVs, he took another look at things, & decided to jump in. But, he told his engineers he wanted a ZENITH tV. one that was built to Zenith levels of quality, & also used as few of the RCA patents as possible. THIS could be why an early Zenith TV is often VERY hard to kill, & why if given half a chance, they still give excellent service. Truth or BS ?!?

[QUOTE=Jon A.;3185938]That could be one reason the second ad was created, for those who were more into quality than excess.
Why the second ad? Black and white ads are not conducive to the sale of color televisions! Phil |

Zenith made a limited number of chrome plated 29JC20 chassis for selected dealers to display. I serviced for a dealer who received one, and I got it eventually. I replaced the chassis in my 29JC20 with it.
