1966? Zenith Color Tube TV
Yet another vintage tv has been acquired by me and saved from the scrap yard. I have not yet found a date of manufacture on the tv yet, but will look closely later. The tv is VERY heavy and big. Was a pain to move but i managed to safely get it moved without necking the crt. Pins are slightly bent on the crt tube but no cracks or obvious signs of trouble.
I am guessing year of manufacture is 1966. Chassis number is either 25MC35 or 25MC36. All tubes are there. Last date of power up unknown. Appears to have never been recapped. I saw some of those annoying and unreliable wax paper caps in there and can already say i am not bothering to power this thing on until i replace the wax papers and do a thorough examination of this thing when I have the time. The first obvious issue with this tv is a stray inductor having unwound itself and having fallen off the convergence control board. I am assuming replacing this inductor is simple enough once I get a photofact for this thing. Here are some photos of this tv. Will post more photos later. https://imgur.com/a/g9762eG |
