Years ago, a friend who had yard sales every Saturday picked up one of those big wooden Zenith's in the rectangular cabinet that he found beside a school dumpster. He normally got me to fix the sets that he found so he could sell them in his yard sale; but, that set had the name of the school written on the cabinet in magic marker and he didn't want to take a chance on it being seen at his sale. So, he gave it to me and all that was wrong with it was a loose connection in the vertical circuit that was causing intermittent vertical sweep. I think this set was an '84 model and used the 9-181 main board and 9-186 horizontal sweep board. It was the type of set where one could screw legs on it and use it as a console; but, the schools always had them sitting on rollaround carts. Most of the school TV's that I used to find were in decent shape because they didn't have a ton of hours on them.
