Just say No!
 

Well my just say NO pledge lasted all about 5 days. I went to the Salvation Army and came home with this Zenith combo. It is chassis 16L24. I believe it is from 1963 or 64. If it were not for it being real clean I would have passed. I plugged it in and it worked for about 30 seconds. The circuit breaker blew in the back. I guess it would not be a hobby if it worked. Did I get a good buy for my $21.40? :D

Another view. Behind the Zenith(under the tarp) is the Philco 48-2500 projection set I picked up last week. That is in another thread.

Nice! someones gotta save the big ones.

I have a 48-2500 parts set so if you need anything give a holler. Good chassis, bad mirror, screen and cabinet.

The only thing I see wrong w/it is that it ain't a roundie-but still a very nice score! Congrats ! -Sandy G.

I fooled with the Zenith tonight. Got a very nice picture on it. Those oozing lytics are a very good clue. Have to clean or replace the switch for the mono and stereo speakers. Needle for the record player is missing also.

The set was buried behind a bunch of head boards and bed parts. I looked at the back and was excited to see a CRT cup. Dug it out and it was a B/W combo. For $20 it was a steal. Wish it was a roundie color with space command. We can get all of our wishes.

My 48-2500 is missing the speaker. If that is there I could use it. PM me with details. I will post updates on that set in the thread.

The speaker is there, kinda rusty but I'll have to take it out and check on the condition of the cone.

I'm picking up three 48-2500's shortly. Two I'll part out, if you need any parts let me know.
