That sucks, but you can't save everything. I've recently sold or parted a lot of sets, I'm tired of just having a hoard of busted tvs around I'd probably never get to repairing anyway. Oh, and just to be clear, it wasn't me!

I am surprised and appalled that a member here could make such a poor choice in destoying something so very special but I am being nice too to not care who it is.
I called the current seller who seems very nice and told him someone may want to buy it to put guts back in it. He said the guy he got it from was looking for the guts too? He also said it was used in some movie? Perhaps the member here that bought it had to get it working for some film production?
I am mostly surprised and disappointed he was not thinking well enough to save the chassis. Does not make any sense. I hope someone got the CRT as reported.

Man!,I really can't believe someone here would do something like that to your beautiful Zenith.
Hopefully nobody will sell or trade anything they prize to that guy in the future after seeing how your set wound up.

Anything can be fixed,it's just a question of time and money,just because a set quits working doesn't mean it should become a shell for new electronics.

And you are the only member on his VK friends list. I'd ask to be taken off.

Well, all might not be totally lost. For $65 (or less) you get a very nice looking black metal cabinet with knobs and perhaps other Zenith stuff still inside that is extremely rare. AND you might take a more common el cheapo Zenith ratty cabinet console with a good insides. Get my drift??? I recommend you go after it! NOW!!!!!!!!

Look again, it also comes the seldom found matching base to set it on. Think I'll go after it.

It is a royal shame that this happened. If I was in your shoes I'd be half tempted to steal back...Errmm I mean rescue the other sets I traded, and anything else that I coulden't stand seeing fishtanked while there.

I'd buy the cabinet if I lived nearer. If folks have pieced CT-100s together from scratch then it should be mutch cheaper and easier to find and get a chassis, CRT, neck hardware, back, and anything else I forgot to mention.
