Picked up more zenith sets!
Just found 5 zenith early 70s 4 tube hybrid sets. Got them locally from a tv guy I know. He sold me 5 of these sets for $40. I was glad to come across these, as I always liked the 4 tube hybrids with the plug in modules. In the second picture, is by far the nicest one of the 5, and had a defect. Had a bad zener diode in the vertical circuit, as the picture was short and "jittering". It works pretty nice after the repair. I got another one of those little 16" sets, the upper right of the 4 pictured. The other 3 are the 4 tube hybrids.
I always liked the 4 tube hybrids, as these sets I had tons of years back. It was like every other weekend, Id come home with another from either the curb or the resale shop. Im keeping maybe two of the 5, so 3 will be available for anyone who wants them. Here is the order from left to right, top to bottom: 1973, 19DC22 1970, 12A10C15 1971, 19B25C19, with the "gyro drive" uhf tuner (flywheel on the tuning shaft with gear reduction for smooth tuning.) You can go to channel 14-83 with one good spin of the knob! 1973, 19DC28. Whats really rare about this set, is that it is a "special" chassis that was for hospital/hotel use. This has factory coax inputs, no built in antenna! It came from a motel around here acording to what I was told. Its got many hours on it, looks like alot of componets have been changed, including the flyback. Probably a tv in the lobby that just never got shut off. In the last picture, is a 19CC19Z from 72. By far the nicest set of them all, just fixed it today.
