I've seen the healthview sets. Figured most of them had been replaced by now

I've seen some that were made as late as 2008 using that same cabinet but also figured they had all been replaced by now. The late ones were all LG inside.

" Institutional " sets were not covered in Sams. With Zenith they were sold
by a separate distributor level division. Came with NO labor warranty, priced much lower than the street model. Usually a dealer would do delivery & set-up
& sell a service contract for the sets. Nice profits !

Cant remember if Zenith did it but others had a special remotes
to set channel skip, pay TV, etc. You could try the service menu to turn
on the composite inputs. Keep in mind Zenith service menus are multi level.
And ALWAYS write down ALL menu settings just in case you gotta go back !!

enuf fer now

Yes but it is blue even where there is snow with lines.
Update: was connecting a VCR for better pic and when I turned the TV on, I heard "pop" and now it's dead.

Odds are blue gun was shorted & blew out the power supply. Its from the time
of the BAD Zenith TV's Part it out & make more room ! The chassis wont
take up much room or eat much
