I'd be all over this like white on rice if it were closer.

Hardly anything is close to us, and we're 300 miles apart! Of course, Katrina took care of a great deal of vintage merchandise down here.

Sweet! Good looking Zenith! I have a similar set without the speeaker on the left. It's a SC600.

got it!when i got there,seller had it on.soumd no hgh voltage.crt shows very weak and a slight halo.cabinet is pretty good shape.tuner switch is stuck.once i get it inside,i ll check out the high voltage problem.i got it very cheap and it was 60 miles way from home,so it was worth the drive.i like these old 60s sets,they are my favorites.will keep you guys posted and thanks for akerting me to this classic

I wonder if that is the same chassis that I just picked up.

I am having some focus issues that Doug suggested a new HV Se rectifier.

Glad you was able to get it and I hope everything works out as far as getting it going again.

okay,got it going somewhat.replaced horizontal output and damper tubes.now we have high voltage.cooked the crt for about 3 hours and it came up!crt checks out pretty good now.certainly not going to change this one,even with the slight halo.convergence coils are another issues.one coil was was broken with a mile of red wire all over the place.so picture is not too nice too watch at this moment.tuner lights are out and the channel switch is broken.also,that wonderful zenith vertical distortion-top and bottom is a little short and adjusting wont straighten it out.probably a cap but which one?cabinet is really nice and with high voltage,a good crt,this one is definately a good save.will post some pics later.

Right on Sampson! Mine produces a good picture, as like most Zeniths do.. What CRT is in that set?
