Craigslist Zenith Score!


I picked up my first all tube Color set today, from a seller in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland. It's a 1966-67?? Zenith, still running on almost all of it's original tubes. On top of that, I found something interesting upon taking the back off the cabinet. There was what appears to be a space command tuner laying loose next to the chassis. It appears that the volume control also has a plastic gear drive attached to it, with happens to be cracked in two. The motor and space command receiver are missing, however. I'm guessing that the space command broke at some point in the past and was simply replaced by a manual tuner. Upon first power up, HV was very low and the picture bloomed and went out of focus as the brightness control was increased. A new 3DJ3 took care of that problem. The Electrolytic cans stay nice and cool, too! I'll post the model and Chassis numbers in a little bit.
Sorry about the poor quality iPhone pic. I'll post better photos soon.
Also, How hard would it be to find the missing Space Command components?
