I like these big early 70's GM boats - I used to have a 72 Buick Centurion with a 455, also had a '72 Impala with the 400 small block.

Yeah, this one has the stainless steel cabinet, I have another Zenith with this chassis in the Avanti cabinet - Which worked great until I took out the remote board to compare it to the one in this set - still have to put it back.

Has anyone tried to modify one of these so you don't get the bendy picture at the top when playing tapes? I read (I think here somewhere) that the horizontal afc circuit needs to be modified.
Had 61 Fiesta wagon & a 63' 98 4 dr both with 394 cid another great Olds mill. Then had 2 1970 ( green & blue ) 88 4dr HT's & a 72 Toronado all 455's. Got the wife a 65 F85 Cutlas 330 cid w/ 4 bbl. fast car & she loved it.

Anyhows The ONLY mod I know of is replace the 9-57 module with one
marked 9-57-VCR from Zenith. The -VCR is a blank 9-57 PCB with a later
9-90-01 attatched to it as they have different connectors.
The 9-90-01 has an IC & a horz hold control. The original horz hold COIL
is not used. When this subject comes up I say "show me yours" but
all you hear is how easy it is to mod !
