Zenith 25EC58 - won't turn on

[Adam]

I found the triac on eBay, the optocoupler at a place called Talon electronics.

I've got a 21" Zenith color, 14A9C50 mostly tube hybrid chassis, in a woodgrain metal cabinet, with the remote, and a bad flyback - I got to start looking for that.

I have the Zenith color tv manuals up through 1980, I'll see if I can find any information on that 9-57-VCR module. There's also a good discussion on how this on/off mechanism actually works in the TAB manuals Zenith color tv vol. 3 - I really didn't get how this works until I read that.

I wish I had moved more of my stuff out here than I did, old stuff just isn't available in AZ like it is in MI and WI, in the 6 years I've lived in AZ the only TV I've found locally is a Zenith Flashmatic console - it's a rare one - but with a damaged cabinet and a bad CRT (if it wasn't a flashmatic I would have parted it out)

If the flashmatic has a good hand unit it worth getting. Last two I seen on
E-bay went in the $400 range for mint ones. The 9-57-VCR may have been
covered in "Tech Topics" but we only found out about it from the Boston
distributors head tech ( Roger Eaton USMC ). He was famous for shooting at a Jap
(MGA) Zero with a 50 cal on Midway, its in the movie. A real nice guy.
