So I am a collector of all things zenith. Grew up with an older zenith set, and like them a lot. Ran into this chromacolor ii set from about 1975 and really like it a lot. I ran it for about two hours, somewhat stupidly. I have heard of caps going bad, but overall have had good luck with 70s zenith stuff working well without restoration.
It had a good picture, and everything worked correctly, but then it just shut off with no warning and wont come back on, no burnt smells or acting weird before it quit.
My question is, what is the likelyhood of it being repairable? I am willing to put some work into this set, and have some electronics background, I have re-capped old radios before. Would anyone be willing to help me with a list of things to check on it? From what I have seen of the chassis, it is pretty simple.
Idealy I would like to get it running again, and replace all questionable capacitors and parts that it would need to run reliably. I think the local tv shop close to me no longer accepts work on older sets.
