zenith color roundie tv saved from barn 6/3/12
after looking close at the zenith ,and removing alot of mouse packing & pooping i decided that i will restore the complete tv cabnet and all.the picture tube is useble, the chassie can be rebuilt, its not as rusty as first thought looks like all the crap might have protected it, the only thing i have never done before is document it step by step as i go . thats what i am going to do in this case ,so bare with me i will post progress as i go,if there is anyone out there that could post any pictures of what this cabnet looked like when it was new like the different color sceams that was offered that would be a big help ,i have to replace to complete bottom ,the o.s.b is coming appart ,i will replace it with 3/4 plywood and the top will have to be steamed back into place and reinforced ,but i would like to see the different stan's they offered for that model ,and the shade of green on the pic. tube bezzel .im not sure yet what year this is ,and i need a complete schematic for it i have pay pal if anyone has a schematic they can sell me . thanks

alot of the work will go into the cabnet ,i have no problem with wood part its the staining and clear coating ill need to work at. i just cant bring myself to destroy this cabnet without trying first.i have alot of automotive sanding tools and boxs of different sand paper grits from 30 threw 1000 grit so i should be able to sand fine finish . plus i know a guy i grew up that builds kitchen cabnet he can give me pointers on staining .

Wow...BIG project. This would overwhelm me even if I had the space to do it.
I did notice in the first pics that it LOOKS like the color and hue adjustments were "cranked"...so wonder if you are gonna find some problem there. Of course I know you'll be overwhelmed with joy when you GET to that point though :P I do love the over-explanation of the two color knobs though. Drives home the point that color was new I guess. I have yet to even see a roundie, or ANY running "first color" sets. Hope I sometime see one of these first color sets. I don't see any small enough for me to ever take on.
