Phase 1 Complete!
I'm one step closer, so now I can cross that off my list. Now for Phase 2 - buying it.

Ignore that cranky old guy. Plenty of help available here. Even better if you can prove him wrong by getting it working and showing it off. If you can possibly get the picture tube tested, do so. Even better if you can arrange that before the sale is completed. Not much point in starting a restoration if the CRT is dead. Replacements can be had if it is no good: if you are patient a good one will show up eventually.

Did he ever help you out with one of your radio problems? I worked with a guy years ago, that told me that. Once he got to know me and what I was all about, we got to be pretty thick. He wouldn't say anything good about anyone, even his own children. He was rather comical at times.

When I first met the guy, he seemed helpful and nice. He helped me a few times, but as of late, he's gotten pretty vulgar. The radio meet is every Saturday morning. I've skipped a few mornings here and there, but I've been there for the most part. What started the kerfuffle was that everybody was having a class in the common area and he asked why I wasn't out there, and as joke I said "Well I already know all that." I was about to leave anyway, and I didn't have time. After that he said "OK, Then! Draw me a half wave rectifier circuit!" And then it exploded.

What a schweinhund ! None of us including him knew squat
once. I knew nothing but had a strong interest. I read, tinkered, asked & took classes. Got me almost 40 years with a Zenith dealer & some of the best times of my life. So like the urban legend about Bozo tell him "cram it clown !". BTW lots of help here. All of us enjoy doing it. Just take it slow & go with the flow. 73 Zeno  Quote:

I got it!
I got the Zenith TV! I got it for only $30. There is only one thing wrong with it. The deflection yoke is messed up and I don't know what to look for. I'll get better pictures when I get home.

It appears to have the same chassis as my 1953 Zenith (only the tuner is mounted to the chassis in mine). Watch out for the parts list and schematic having different values listed for one of the vertical caps (go with the vlaue installed)....That royally screwed up the restoration on my 1953 for a while. Even If the CRT is shot, at 30$ you could get that back in parts if you had to.
