Don't know but it's probably a 23".

The model number or chassis number would help us both date the set and determine the right CRT.
Certainly could be from 1962. Certainly not much older (it would have a "pregnant rectangle" with rounded corners and a front safety glass), and not likely much newer (sales of console B&W sets dropped rapidly after about 1968, though a very small number were made in the early eighties). Your set has a bonded-faceplate CRT, the number will be 23*P4 or 23**P4. If your video is any indication, you probably don't need a new CRT. P.S.: I'm thinking this thread belongs in "Rectangular Screen Tube Televisions". Last edited by Robert Grant; 03-03-2018 at 10:25 AM. |

You might be right about the rectangular section , I didn't think of that because in had in my head rectangular meant no tubes , color etc , if someone wants to move the post that's ok but it's not my Video and not my tv , I grew up with a similar set and saw the video on you tube and was just wondering some things about it .

When I was VERY young, the family TV was a 1962 Zenith with a bonded-faceplate tube (I knew it was 1962 because my mother had told me that her parents bought it as a gift, so that my older siblings could watch John Glenn's Earth orbit).
I was a little younger than the TV. Our 1962 Zenith was dark brown, VHF-only, with the bonded-faceplate tube. The zenith logo was simpler than the one in the video. I'm leaning toward thinking 1965 would be more likely. |

The one in the video does not have UHF so wouldn't a 65 or later automatically have a UHF tuner. .

62 is about right. It has no UHF so its pre March of 64.
Those sets are practically indestructible, probably THE best set ever built by any, anywhere, at any time. They were built right into the '70s. The 14N22 chassis was made for 7 yrs. Older ones were almost the same. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

The GVG tuner equipped sets always had a continuous UHF tuner. I don't remember UHF strips available for the GVG tuner. |

the other tuners then probably were not UHF tuner ready. For those that may not know when you switch to UHF on click tuners you... 1) turn off the VHF osc 2) switch in tuning to make the mixer & RF amp 2 more stages of IF 3) turn on the UHF B+ On UHF you can inject an IF signal into the UHF IF jack to test the VHF tuner for proper ops on UHF. It was quite common in a Zenith to have NO or grainy UHF caused by a bad 6HA5. Never made sense for a tube to run normal at high freqs but not lows ! Here is a great propaganda film from Zenith on early UHF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lu5jqXaHRE 73 Zeno LFOD ! |
