My first space command!
Picked this up today for 10 dollars at a thrift shop they had 2 of them but it was 25. anything that i should know about with these sets bad flybacks etc.... It has two din connectors on the back opened it up and found it is a video/audio input or output i dont know yet.
Do these sets use infrared remotes or the old clikey type? btw the picture is not as bad as it shows in the pics it is actually very good!

Nice set! That one looks new enough to use an IR remote. I think '81 was the last year for ultra-sonic remotes.

Look at it close. Use a flashlight and see if if looks like a LED display in there. Will look like 2 8's. If not, probably the IR receiver. Could be both in there/ Who knows!

I thought the same thing. A minor screen adjustment will make it better.

Zenith also offered that set with a single knob electronic tuner, and the old school click-stop knob tuners. I have the later and it is a good set.

Thanks for that Zenithfan
 Makes me feel better about the little Sears 9" color set I picked up a few weeks ago. I think in another thread it was determined the model number told me it was a Toshiba set. It certainly does perform okay since I cleaned it up and it stopped "snapping" from a capacitor to ground. I haven't found a place for it to "live" in the apartment yet....so it sorta WANDERS around the front room on a TV tray for now. I turn it on often INSTEAD of turning on the big 55" Sammy LED set. For some reason....it just feels more personal watching a smaller set that is closer to wherever I'm doing some little task.

From the factory, those were connected to nothing. The "redi-port" was simply a plastic knock-out hole for optional accessories to be installed inside the TV. I think the most common thing to be installed here were security alarm sensors for such TV's that were used in hotels, motels, hospitals, schools, and other commercial interest.

It was a cheap Sears TV but it was a beautiful looking set. Had a Zenith like appearance to it. At least I felt it did.
Linear Mode
