Finally found a Zenith 25" steel cabinet CCII w/ cart

[radiotvnut]

A girl I know, who's been promising me this TV for months, finally came through today. This set was in the conference room of her work place and the only thing it was being used for was to hold a 19" BPC set. I found her a cart and we made the trade today.

It's a '79 25" Zenith using the 25KC45 chassis and it uses a one knob varactor tuner. The set still has it's ID tags on the back and all back screws are accounted for; so, I doubt this set has ever been worked on. It works; but, needs the usual adjustments and typical connections resoldered. When I first turned it on, the VHF-lo band was dead. After about ten minutes, a picture appeared; so, I suspect the problem to be loose connections in the tuner module. IMO, this is a special Zenith since it's a steel cabinet table model and it was built in '79, which was the last year for the CCII chassis. Does anyone know if the cart is an original Zenith item or is it an aftermarket item? This is the first steel cabinet 25V CCII that I've had in ages.
