1954 Zenith on CL should I get it?

[Username1]

I see at least one 5U4..... And a giant Rock Video Speaker ! !I already like it !

And I'm very happy with my purchase. The set is in very good condition, and I think I will get it working very soon. I had to do one minor repair already, and that was screwing the brass bezel that holds the glass in place. The screws were just sitting there and the glass could have fallen out at any time.

The front of the set.

I have one like that. A pair of 5U4's and P-P 6AQ5 audio. THINK it has doors too. It is in my shed--and WILL soon have to leave there--as I will NOT be living here too much longer.

I forgot to mention that the CRT has been replaced. It has a Raytheon.

Is it a 21YP4?

[TUD1]

I'm pretty sure it is.

Does anybody know where I can find a schematic for this thing?

The styling looked similar to me!
IIRC, the more expensive model, that had dual 5U4's and P-P audio also had 90degree sweep.
The set, just bought is the more common model. Most of that chassis series, had the chassis mounted tuner and volume control. Still a good performing set.

I can't find this model anywhere on Google or anything. I found some similar ones here.

For a manual use the chassis number. Its 19R22
Sources are.
Very large libaries used to have Sams.
Check e-bay, a lot of factory manuals there.
Sams Photofact too expensive IMHO
Free scan from one of us.
Used Sams resellers. Be SURE you get the origional folder
NOT a copy etc.
Avoid any PDF's, copies, or fiche unless they are FREE !
You cant read them half the time.

It's in sams folder 267-16. If you can't find anything, I have the factory manual and can scan the schematic from it.

[TUD1]

This looks like the first thing I should address on my Zenith. I'm slowly but surely learning what to do.

[TUD1]

Anyone?

Just looks to ME...like the cover on back of the yoke has come off. since this is NOT a color set...you don't have to worry about things like convergence or purity.

IF the yoke is still good (likely)..just re-attach the cover--and go fomr there. A LOT of yoke covers--color and BW_-from the "old days" tend to crumble like this...
