Mid-'60s Zenith Console Doesn't Turn On

Do you have a Multi-meter? You need to verify the primary side. Read across the A/C input plug on the back of the chassis. With the switch on, you should see a small resistance about a couple of Ohms. I'd bet something is open. The primary side is easy to check for continuity. That model chassis may have two terminal pins on the topside where the switch connects. Maybe some wires came loose in transport. Now would be a good time to look and verify that on/off switch too!
