Zenith roundie
Ran across this set the other day on Facebag marketplace. I didn’t hesitate paying the $25 for it on the spot, now I just need to go pick it up, probably in less than a week or so. I’ll have more info and photos when I get it. As far as I can tell, it’s in great shape and it’s in a cabinet I really like. The seller didn’t try powering it up, but it probably at least somewhat works being a Zenith and all.

Probably a 29KC20. If it has 3DG4 rectifier tubes than it is a 29JC20 Zeniths first consumer set. Very good sets when working properly.

Gorgeous! And you're right: being a Zenith of that era you'll probably need to clean the tuner and then start watching it.

 . They are good sets (the color quality is up there with the best), but the caps can be time bombs if you leave them.

Finally got the set. Has 95% of its original tubes. The CRT was low but woke up after cooking for 20 minutes. Has a raster with snow. The audio is a very loud buzz. The fine tuning doesn’t work and that’s because the plastic gear that turns the screw thing thats on the contacts in the tuner is cracked. I took it off to glue it, but being me, I lost it. Do any of you know how I can get a replacement?

I hope for a nice bench & lots of OEM parts. A 2 week backlog unless you bought it from us. I will teach my squaw how to do dial cords & mechanical
things & we will work together. BTW I thew away some of those gears back abt 2010. All new in Zenith pkgs. Who a thunk ? Looks like its the diaper pin style. Easy to find used. For now you can set them with a small screwdriver. The grey scale looks great so I thinks you gotta winner. 73 Zeno  LFOD ! Quote:
