New Acquisition - Zenith 7300WU Combo

[holmesuser01]

I was given the innards of an RCA combo set that used the CTC-12 chassis about 35 years ago. Someone else removed all of this from the set. For my trouble of going to the guy's home, I got a brand new CRT in the box, the good used CRT (an FJP) from the set, the chassis, the radio, and the audio amplifier, and all of the speakers, and bezel.

I did get to see the cabinet. Cherry French Provincial. Beautiful.

All that was wrong with the TV was the dual-diode on the horizontal oscillator.

I installed the TV in another cabinet, and ran it for years. I still have the new CRT (an FBP) for my other round sets, and built a little cabinet for the tuner and amplifier that I still use from time to time. All original RCA tubes in everything. The 15" speakers wound up in a Magnavox combo, and are still playing today.

I'm still glad that I said "YES" when the guy called my shop...

The cabinet that all this came from was DESTROYED not long after I got the innards. I would have taken it all, if they had just said something...

Hope that you get your Zenith looking good. That's quite a cabinet!
