Help Identify My New Zenith

Okay, just picked up a new Zenith, but beyond the chassis number, I have no idea what model it is. It looks like an Avanti, but I'm sure it would have such markings somewhere on it.

Also, I'm attaching a few pictures of issues I've discovered. If I have the chassis number correct, Sams Photofacts has the manual for it I can purchase (unless someone knows where I can get one for free). The issues in the pictures are: The center of the image seems stretched. In one picture you can see the person in the center of the screen look normal chest to head and knees to feet, but the entire mid section is stretched. In another image you can see a test pattern that should have a white line, but it is actually showing up as blue and red distortion on the line. In the last two, one is with the Chromatic setting off (looks okay) and the second is with it turned on (orange and loss of detail and most colors).

I'm having trouble setting proper brightness, contrast, color and tint. I've been using Video Essentials like I did with my other Chromacolor 2, but this one is not cooperating. It blooms easily, gets a blue raster when setting the brightness, can't set the color and tint with the test pattern and blue filter. Yellows are more orange than should be, etc.

Anyway, I'm gonna go about cleaning the inside this weekend and sure would love to get this set looking as good as my other Chromacolor 2 you guys have helped me fix up.

Thanks
