Welcome aboard !
Nice to see a young Zenith fan, most under 40 wouldnt
know what a Zenith, Studebaker or DEC computer is !
I spent almost 40 yrs at a Zenith dealer so you will be
hearing from me !! A few suggestions ............

Finding old TV's. Watch for retiring people moving out of
a long time home.
Learning. Get a book on very basic electronics. An old one
from the tube era. Also a few old how a TV works that has
block diagrams in it. Check big libraries first.
First fixes. A few AM radios are great.
First B&W TV. Metal cabinet 19" Zeniths from about 1960-1965
are easiest IMHO.
First color TV. Zenith 4 tube hybrid, only 4 tubes so they
usually arent worn out. Made apx 1971-1975 by the
millions. Come 19", 23" & 25"
And remember 2 things. The only dumb question is the one not asked.
& TV's are like playing chess. NEVER make a move without a reason.
