1995 Zenith Concierge Series 19"
Felt sorry for this one and attempted rescue. Was sitting on its back, face up in the brush on the side of the road. Months, maybe a year or so. What seems like an 8 foot cord tried to follow but was real tight and embedded in the brush, etc but finally came loose. Loaded it up, brought it back and did a basic wipe down and removed the back. Wasn't the worst I've seen. Vacuumed out, checked the switches etc. reassembled and tested. Pic shows how it's running now. Left on for several minutes and seems stable. No odor or smoke. Speaker is shot as all the paper surround is gone due to weather. What things should I check on this one? What's the story behind the concierge? Hotel unit?

Yep. Hotels, hospitals, etc.
They usually had connections on the back for vendor software controls as well. |

Yes, there two coax, one says something about an alarm, then there's 3 RCA.

The alarm one usually just has a resistor across the terminals inside. Detects if someone disconnects the cable to "move" the set.

I figured as much. I need to pull it back out and connect something so I can see how it looks rn.

You probably need the service remote to enable the video input.

I was in the hospital for an outpatient procedure this morning, and they had a Zenith set with the identical cabinet, except the logo on the upper left said something like "Healthview" (hard to read from the bed).

I've seen the healthview sets. Figured most of them had been replaced by now

I've seen some that were made as late as 2008 using that same cabinet but also figured they had all been replaced by now. The late ones were all LG inside.

" Institutional " sets were not covered in Sams. With Zenith they were sold
by a separate distributor level division. Came with NO labor warranty, priced much lower than the street model. Usually a dealer would do delivery & set-up & sell a service contract for the sets. Nice profits ! Cant remember if Zenith did it but others had a special remotes to set channel skip, pay TV, etc. You could try the service menu to turn on the composite inputs. Keep in mind Zenith service menus are multi level. And ALWAYS write down ALL menu settings just in case you gotta go back !! enuf fer now Zeno |

Yes but it is blue even where there is snow with lines.
Update: was connecting a VCR for better pic and when I turned the TV on, I heard "pop" and now it's dead. Last edited by pac.attack76; 03-22-2024 at 05:46 PM. |
