1985 Quasar 11" color with the remote
I picked up another set… This works as found, some controls are a bit dirty. I think this is the model that came with the remote that looked like a small copy of the tv itself. (But I didn't get the remote with it) This will be my new desk tv. It's nice to have a little more room back on my desk (I had been keeping a 19" set there)

I used to have this in beige, the blue looks way nicer. Great find!

I seldom sent sets to the recycler, but those went! IIRC, they had coil cords on them, like some other sets, meant for kitchen use. |

Those were big sellers til the Zenith "Delights" came
out. Zeniths had RAT cable ready & murdered them. Used to get cold joints under the FBT a lot. They were good otherwise IIRC. 73 Zeno |

I had been looking for a small TV to put on my desk. I would have gone for either a b/w or color, but if I got a color I wanted it to be one with a remote. And I like those little Zeniths but I never see them with a remote. I think its odd that Zenith made that set with so many other advanced features, and then made so few with the remote control. When I was watching this last night it lost the vertical deflection entirely a few times. But twiddling the vert hold control always brought it back. I'm hoping a dirty control is all it is. |

I think the reason for not many remotes is that the sets are
small & usually within reach. It may be very simple to add if the micro is the same as the remote ones. May just need a tiny IR receiver. You would have to compair things in both manuals. Now that I think of it maybe the only 9" with remote was the black AC/DC model. I just dont remember now. I do remember the later Chinese POS 9" they sold was remote & used a different one than all other Zeniths. 73 Zeno Quote:

I think thats what Zenith called them but maybe it was the
Quasar. We had the special display stand & it had ice cream cones on it. Must have been Zenith. We got our other brands from a buying group & rarely got extras. Zenith would have had a deal like "buy 1 of each color & mix the rest, order 24 & get free display". 73 Zeno |

Outdoor signage was handled differently - once you signed on as a dealer or authorized repair center (more expensive option), you got a free 2'x3' lighted RCA sign for only 39 dollars. Larger signs were available, but only for dealer/repair center combinations. Looking back, it took about 3 years to sell all 96 sets, thanks to larger dealers and stores selling them for less than our costs. RCA Roomate sets - 13" an 17" sets mainly, with a couple of 19" Colortrak sets to round out the 96. No room to store them, so the first dozen or so went home for storage..
