More on export Zenith

Hello! The CT 100 is a gift from a friend of mine. Since he knows how much I do love old televisions he bought it for me several years ago from a shop in New York. It is an unmodified american tv set but it was alredy not working when i received it. The picture tube has the three filaments burned out. I'd need time to start to try and restore it. Yes,Donald Duck ,Uncle Scrooge and company are very popular here in Italy. The funny thing it is in my childhood I wasn't interested in Walt Disney comics (I wasn't interested in comics at all): I started read them as an adult. My father ever told me the Zenith was bought in 1969 but since he is not particularly interested in old stuff he could mistake the date. I was only 3 in 1969 so I can't be sure about the date. Nothing is shown on the back which can lead to know the exact manufacturing date. I tried to take a picture of the tubes diagram but the picture came out blurred. I will try to take another picture with daylight. It has eleven tubes, transistorized chroma and color drivers. The vhf tuner is tube type and the uhf one is transistorized.
It has a chrominance "dura module".
