ohhhh, those zeniths

[sampson159]

saw a craigslist ad for antique tvs.went to the home and owner has a 1951 admiral 16" complete but mighty rough.in the other side of unit (double) sat a zenith chromacolor II from 1973.i think doug sold the same set for cheap last year.the one in the youtube video.it has the sliding control for adjustments.been sitting many.many years in this unheated dwelling.asked to plug it in and..........................................it came right on with a razor sharp picture! tuner is dirty and a slight vertical issue,but,as usual,the zenith performance.these sets are bulletproof!not worth much,but gold to me.i kept 3 of these when we cleared out the shop.going to get both of these soon i hope.i own dlp,lcd,and plasma sets in my home,yet i watch my vintage tvs.they still look great for everyday use.after all these years,i am still amazed at the quality and resolution of those zenith sets.unbelievable!!!
