HI from michigan

anyone know of anyone that could have a look at my 1951 zenith porthole TV. Not sure of the issues that it is having, powers up, tube lights but can not get a signal.

Anyone one that can have a look at it for me in Michigan I know nothing about vintage electronics.

Thanks
Don

Welcome to VK!

That is one nice Zenith there and you will likely find someone here that can help you.

That model must have a name. Good Luck!

If its never been restored, it will need a full re-cap, at the least.

Hi Rainner - I just wanted to say welcome and what a cool tv. Some people fall over themselves to have a round tube tv. That's a really good looking one, and I'm not typically attracted to these really older round sets. Best wishes here and on your projects. - Phil
