Nice to see somebody has that same "fix it or kill it while trying" outlook as me, lol.

Now please tell me that pic of Obama talking about Imus was taken weeks ago... I'd hate to think CNN is still beating that dead horse!

I have a 13" color Zenith that appears to be slightly newer than this. Have had it since it was new. The only problem that I have ever had with it was shorted power supply diodes following a lightning storm.

Works fine to this day.

This morning I logged into AK and had the same problem. Today when I posted in this thread I saw your Zenith and all other pics, and now everything is just empty again. Wonder whats going on?

I thought it was just me. I really would like to see your Zenith. I hope the pics get fixed soon.

I remember those well. I worked for a Zenith dealer when those came out. In the mid 90s I repaired a bunch of that chassis. Don't see them much any more. I did see the 19" version of it with space phone (SZ1963W to be exact) a few weeks ago. I didn't actually get to fix it, though. The grandkids had reprogrammed everything, and the set wasn't actually broken, so I didn't get to open that one up. The CRT in that one is still pretty strong.

Edit: Now that i think about it, I think the set I mentioned has a 9-214 main board, and yours has a 9-181. You get to adjust the CRT bias; the 9-214 has AKB
