Zenith roundie
Ran across this set the other day on Facebag marketplace. I didn’t hesitate paying the $25 for it on the spot, now I just need to go pick it up, probably in less than a week or so. I’ll have more info and photos when I get it. As far as I can tell, it’s in great shape and it’s in a cabinet I really like. The seller didn’t try powering it up, but it probably at least somewhat works being a Zenith and all.

Probably a 29KC20. If it has 3DG4 rectifier tubes than it is a 29JC20 Zeniths first consumer set. Very good sets when working properly.

Gorgeous! And you're right: being a Zenith of that era you'll probably need to clean the tuner and then start watching it.

They are good sets (the color quality is up there with the best), but the caps can be time bombs if you leave them.

Finally got the set. Has 95% of its original tubes. The CRT was low but woke up after cooking for 20 minutes. Has a raster with snow. The audio is a very loud buzz. The fine tuning doesn’t work and that’s because the plastic gear that turns the screw thing thats on the contacts in the tuner is cracked. I took it off to glue it, but being me, I lost it. Do any of you know how I can get a replacement?

I'd imagine all a us that have been decent people end up in the place all the cool lectronics that are no longer in the world end up after we've checked out..... It'd probably get to be a bit like hell if there wasn't junk for us to play with...

I hope for a nice bench & lots of OEM parts. A 2 week backlog unless you bought it from us. I will teach my squaw how to do dial cords & mechanical
things & we will work together. BTW I thew away some of those gears back abt 2010. All new in Zenith pkgs. Who a thunk ? Looks like its the diaper pin style. Easy to find used. For now you can set them with a small screwdriver. The grey scale looks great so I thinks you gotta winner. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |
