Get this guy!
When this set was new, I was 30 younger and a lot stronger. Now I can still carry the set, but not by the handle.
I've been retired for 12 years at the age of 62.

My apologies, I'm 53 and grew up with old military boat anchor shortwave radios and tube console stereos. I never trusted any electronics that weighed less than 40 lbs except for those new fangled light weight zenith solid state transoceanic radios.

For Zeniths with 9-86 & older flat & hybrid chassii (9-27).
clean, tighten & reset module.
Boards with socketed IC's ( up to F line IIRC) should have IC's
soldered in. The sockets are more trouble than the IC's.
Clean normal-align switch, APC & ACC pots.
Adjust APC in align for fewest color bars. Dont remember ACC procedure.
The IC's are super common & used in other brands.
A few stupid things are color turned down, FT off, dirty Chromatic or
Color Sentry switch ( when used ).
Barely any off board parts will cause no color. Actual fails will
be an IC 95% of time.

BTW ANY Zenith with modules & plug in semi's always suspect the sockets
especially if intermitant. Starting around F-line (1975) they were eliminated
& all Zenith rebuilts had sockets removed.
