It looks like it is not a remote set as I don’t see the large remote chassis.

Is NOT a remote set, just motorized VHF tuner. It does have a UHF
tuner. Even if it were hidden the green antenna wires are a give away. Zenith always used brown for VHF & green for UHF. You can see the dial lamps & numbers disks also. The mystery is where the hell do the numbers shine through ???? Maybe its got the wrong knobs ? When I get chance I will look in the line folders...... 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

I don't see a remote chassis (though IIRC it was usually hung from the top back of the cabinet which is not pictured), and lack of text reading "Space Command" on the front leads me to believe it is a Non-remote set with motorized tuning.

I would like to see it on to know how well those channel numbers show up through the decal. It is a neat idea, though. My set has the channel numbers viewed through the center of the tuning knob.

I have an older (probably from a 29KC20) power tuning tuner cluster and it's bezel in my spare tuners box. It has that plastic wood grain and IIRC I once powered the dial lamps and found it was viewable in normal room lighting...It is kind of unexpected and cool to see it shine through when you don't expect it to.

It's probably a good thing it's not a remote model; less complicated and less to go wrong! With with the motorized tune, how do you change the channel, is there an Up and Down button somewhere? There's nothing visible on the control panel.
The tuning knob is solid, there doesn't seem to be a clear window for the channel number to shine through. So it would come through the wood-grain? That seems kind of odd! We're kind of scared to plug it in and turn it on, my hubby's experience is limited to minor car re-wiring, a few old stereos and clock radios with tubes! As they say - first do no harm!

Just an FYI, no vitriol intended...
Sue, you get some leeway here because you are new, but it's bad procedure to start so many threads about the same TV in the same forum. It makes it terribly difficult to keep track of what happens to the set between when you first saw it until we finally get you through restoring it to a functioning and reliable TV. It causes us to miss what you did in earlier posts, which may be vital to help you in later ones. For example you have now placed pictures of the set in a thread. Later we might have to locate them again to help you with a future problem. All in one thread makes them easy to find. It's to your advantage to keep the story flowing smoothly. To the moderators: Any chance one of you could come and combine 4 of these threads? The other two in introductions and classifieds are indeed separate. . |

Oh I'm sorry, I'm new to this! Can someone please put everything all together as has been suggested? it does make sense in this case. The vintage home an car sites are very differently structured! Henceforth I will just continue on with this thread then.

Since the chassis was powered recently to take that screenshot it should be safe to power again for monitored tests shorter than 5 min. Zeno advised you on grarscale/screen/G2 adjustments a while back...Might want to do that to check your CRT.

That's good to know!
WiscoJim suggested that we obtain a "SAM photo fact 757-4". I did a web search and the main seller of them "schematicman" doesn't have that one available (of course!), and I couldn't find it on eBay or elsewhere. Does anyone know a source for an original copy? We have trouble reading reproductions of things, and I just found out yesterday I need to have cataract surgery (the eyes, not the TV screen!)! Too much sun over the years. Any suggestions on the SAM thing is appreciated!

You can buy Sams Photofacts directly from the publisher:
https://www.samswebsite.com/en/photo...earch&s=Search If you live near a large public library, it's worth checking with the reference desk. Some libraries have subscriptions with Sams that let their patrons download any Sams manual for free. Regards, Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios https://antiqueradio.org/index.html |

Thanks Phil!
I read somewhere on another radio forum that the SAM from the publisher are expensive and are just sometimes rather iffy copies, so we would prefer an original one if we can ffind it. My hubs says he got one once for a radio he worked on and it helped him a lot.
