1970 Zenith 21" color with the SC600 remote

14A9C50 chassis (one of the early hybrids with no modules) in the metal cabinet…

When I got this set (at the fall etf) I was told it had no HV. But I plugged it in today, and the HV is fine. Although there are several problems with it, which are as follows:

1. color oscillator - It has those color bars rolling up and down the screen

2. no sound - and, yes, I already tried flipping the auto/manual switch to manual

3. power tuning doesn't work

4. none of the remote stuff works at all

5. cosmetic stuff: missing a few knobs (which I might have), The back and bottom of the cabinet is rusty, the inside of the cabinet is rusty, chassis is a little rusty. But nothing so bad that it actually has eaten away any metal, and the outside fake woodgrain part of the cabinet looks good, and strangely, the antenna is actually unbroken. If this wasn't a rare remote set I wouldn't bother, but I suspect I'll probably wind up repainting the back, bottom and inside of the cabinet.

I'll post some pics later...
