1989 Zenith System 3 pincushion issue?

[pac.attack76]

Finally got a pic up by connecting a video game to it. Great pic. Very clear. I like it but youll notice in one pic how the sides are bowed out. I figured its a pincushion issue.

Should i change all caps or just certain ones?

I wouldn't change anything. Do Google search for "access hidden Zenith TV menus". I have a similar set with the same issues but haven't bothered with it yet.

[pac.attack76]

I'll keep that in mind.

If you ever go into the factory menus on any set ALWAYS
write down the numbers so you can go back to the
start. Also if a "range" is given such as 1-20 is given NEVER go beyond
it.

Show the link & I will look.
A little before my time, most my work was early 60's to date
so I can only make general comments.

Model number? Chassis? Can't pull a Sams without it....

Please folks, if you want specific answers, you'll need to give specifics on your sets.

Nope, 12 posts, no model number for the thread subject - a 1989 Zenith System 3.......no model, no chassis. I'm not a mind reader, but have resources...

Im not talking about the 89. I was asking zeno about my 50's zenith bothe model and chassis are listed. You can see the chassis numbers in one of the pics. I just have to go into my service menu for the 89. I know what to do with that one.

Why is the title of this thread 1989 Zenith System 3??? Are you even talking about a System 3?? Why post about another set in this thread?? I see the title "1989 Zenith System 3" and think, gee, I have stuff to help the OP. But wait, no model number to the SYSTEM 3 set, no chassis number, so I can't help, so let me ask......

1. Do you need help with the System 3?
2. If no, then why post?
3. If yes, then post a model number and I maybe can help. Zenith had 71 different model numbers for 1989, and if you subtract out the consoles, there are still 62 - still too wide to help - need a model number to help.

You didnt notice my earlier thread about this set. Pics and model are there. Just didnt know you needed a sams sheet for menu codes. Here it is:
