I parted out a couple 15 years ago when I was moving and didnt have room, I had like 5 of them ...those sets used to be plentiful $5-10 garage slae items back in the 80s, Wouldn't do that now, unless the set wasnt savable. I did keep the 3 best ones. I did save the power transformers for future tube amp or radio restorations. I must have had at least 10 Zenith B&W sets from 1960-1970 or so at one time. Every single one of them worked OK. when i got it from a garage sale, although a couple had crts that wernt so bright anymore.
You wouldn't happen to have saved the vert. out transformers from those (I could use one)?
