Zenith 13" chromacolor 2 with the SC100 remote
3 Attachment(s)
I expected this to just turn on and work ... almost, but it's got no color. Everything else works. Came with the owner's manual, hang tags, channel numbers, receipt from 1/2/1978 for $399.00, and the original SC 100 remote. The tinted plastic that goes in front of the screen is still there, and the antennas are unbroken:banana: I've been looking for one of these for a while, it makes a matching pair with my 17". I have almost no free time to work on anything now though.

The manual specifies (chassis 13JC10 in Zenith CM-126) a 9-86-02D chroma module. Is the D significant, or would any 9-86-02 work, or even any 9-86?

This actually came with a SC100 remote? It looks like one of the last to use the 600Z.

IIRC we didnt stock the -02. It may have been for just the 13" and maybe the EFL CRT sets too. Dash numbers as a rule MAY sub up but not down. I think your 17" is an EFL, see if that has a -02. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |

The one function remote control only changed the channel and IIRC, you set a blank channel to set the set off. Rather crude for a $400 set. Plus they have the nerve to call this pig a portable! Pretty sure, it's a "J" chassis. :scratch2: |
The original receipt is what makes this even cooler!

I think I walked past the one Adam has a couple of times before he bought it but I never noticed it was an SC set...If I had I'd have probably bought it. |
I had one of those, back before the economy crash of 08, same clicker remote. i loved that little set. drh4683 has a nice walk-around video of that set on his youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17bZgsRTSog
I seem to remember mine had a similar issue, in mine it was the little switch on the chroma board i flipped it back and forth a few times and the color came back. YMMV |

When this set was new, I was 30 younger and a lot stronger. Now I can still carry the set, but not by the handle. I've been retired for 12 years at the age of 62. |

For Zeniths with 9-86 & older flat & hybrid chassii (9-27).
clean, tighten & reset module. Boards with socketed IC's ( up to F line IIRC) should have IC's soldered in. The sockets are more trouble than the IC's. Clean normal-align switch, APC & ACC pots. Adjust APC in align for fewest color bars. Dont remember ACC procedure. The IC's are super common & used in other brands. A few stupid things are color turned down, FT off, dirty Chromatic or Color Sentry switch ( when used ). Barely any off board parts will cause no color. Actual fails will be an IC 95% of time. BTW ANY Zenith with modules & plug in semi's always suspect the sockets especially if intermitant. Starting around F-line (1975) they were eliminated & all Zenith rebuilts had sockets removed. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |

No IC sockets on this board. Flipping the setup switch on the back and forth a few times got me color, but it wouldn't sync. I had another 9-86-02 and so I tried swapping it in and it works, I have color now.
The picture looks a bit washed-out though, not enough contrast. Adjusting the 'picture' control all the way from one end to the other has no effect at all. I cleaned the control, I tried pulling the luma module in and out, making sure it was making contact, no effect. It's a 9-88-03, which I don't have. |
The 9-88-03 has a long ceramic resistor pack. Resolder it.
