The picture on this set is excellent, the remote unit works consistently, but after watching it for a while last night, I had more trouble with the sound. Sometimes the sound will just cut out entirely, when this happens I can still hear static when I turn the volume control, so the audio output is still working. Turning the set on and off a few times always restores the sound. This uses the 150-214 sound module, which has no transistors, just 2 ICs. Once I fix the sound, this set will probably replace my ctc-10 as my main watching set.

The other set I picked up is this 63 Zenith 19" b/w SC300 in the metal cabinet. The set itself needs some cleaning up, but works fine, although the remote receiver isn't working at all. If anyone has any of the built in antennas that go with these, I now have 3 sets that need them. I also need to come up with something to replace the missing 4 plastic pads on the bottom of this set. I think I could never collect too many Zenith b/w sets in metal cabinets, this is my 5th.
Hi,
Just a general question about Zenith Avanti 25" floor models from 1969-74. I see yours is a flat front (No dials). Just wondering if they made a space command remote for earlier models with dials...and if so, did the dial move when changing the channels with the remote?
Strange question, right?
We had a tv as a kid that we think was an Avanti, but we aren't sure. My sister and I agree that the remote clicker made the dial turn on the tv. The body styling looks right.
Hope you can help,
