Oh, and thank you jstout66 for offering a Type J battery, but I bought one today and the remote is working fine! I guess it is true, that they just don't make things like they use to! And Carmine, I didn't know where else to post my questions on this oldish Zenith. All I know is it is not one of those fancy HD Plasma things that brews your coffee for you and that costs $3000. so I figured I was safe posting it here. and as far as your roundie? as you all so call them on here? It looks like its so round, that it would almost be like 3D. Do you really watch that tv and how old is that?
