TV Zenith Solid-state 70's

[Electronic M]

Okay I scanned the schematic page. It is a sheet larger than 11X17" so each face is split in to two scans...It is the best I can manage right now.

I just realized the files are too large to attach to a post on this forum. Can you PM or post your email address so I can email them to you?

You got me ! I guess I need new glasses & look more careful.

I wish I had one !

Sorry only remember a few French words from my lessons
50 yrs ago. There are other members in PQ that may help
you. American English can be very hard because we have so
many accents. Northern New England is the only place that
does not have an accent !

okay i understand..At school the english language is the second language we learn ...The only english i understand is the American english.. new England not at all when someone frome England speaks to me..The pronounciation is so different...Even in USA in different states, especialy in Texas, they speak with their nose a little , so it's hard for me sometimes due to the fact I speak french. However, Quebec has many ways to speak french... harsh french i mean but that is not a problem for me..

I emailed it to you. Good luck.

It is my understanding that English is the most challenging language to learn.

Hi rca2000. Can you tell me the problems with the 3 items ?

Where are the safety caps

Focus divider/bleeder seem seem to be okay and working good

tripler : there's no cracks at first view and I don't hear any cracky sound.

There's no white caps on the flyback board.All i have are most in this style:



I hope that help you

Those are fine. Check for white caps under the chassis too. There's an access panel under the cabinet.

Yes. I wouldn't run the TV until it's replaced.
