1989 Zenith System 3 pincushion issue?
 

Finally got a pic up by connecting a video game to it. Great pic. Very clear. I like it but youll notice in one pic how the sides are bowed out. I figured its a pincushion issue.

...

Should i change all caps or just certain ones?

I wouldn't change anything. Do Google search for "access hidden Zenith TV menus". I have a similar set with the same issues but haven't bothered with it yet.

I'll keep that in mind.

If you ever go into the factory menus on any set ALWAYS
write down the numbers so you can go back to the
start. Also if a "range" is given such as 1-20 is given NEVER go beyond
it.

Right. I'll check it out. You think you can help me with my 1950's zenith b&w? Its posted here on the forum too.

Show the link & I will look.
A little before my time, most my work was early 60's to date
so I can only make general comments.

Model number? Chassis? Can't pull a Sams without it....

Please folks, if you want specific answers, you'll need to give specifics on your sets.

Both are listed in the post. I included the link earlier.

Nope, 12 posts, no model number for the thread subject - a 1989 Zenith System 3.......no model, no chassis. I'm not a mind reader, but have resources...

Im not talking about the 89. I was asking zeno about my 50's zenith bothe model and chassis are listed. You can see the chassis numbers in one of the pics. I just have to go into my service menu for the 89. I know what to do with that one.

Why is the title of this thread 1989 Zenith System 3??? Are you even talking about a System 3?? Why post about another set in this thread?? I see the title "1989 Zenith System 3" and think, gee, I have stuff to help the OP. But wait, no model number to the SYSTEM 3 set, no chassis number, so I can't help, so let me ask......

1. Do you need help with the System 3?
2. If no, then why post?
3. If yes, then post a model number and I maybe can help. Zenith had 71 different model numbers for 1989, and if you subtract out the consoles, there are still 62 - still too wide to help - need a model number to help.

You didnt notice my earlier thread about this set. Pics and model are there. Just didnt know you needed a sams sheet for menu codes. Here it is:
