I just found this site I am enjoying it very much. it is nice to know there are other people who do think that old t.v.s, both b.w., and color, are worth saving.

i recently(in early january)acquired a zenith 29jc20 color set. it is somewhat similar to the others i have seen on the site, but is several years older, with two 3dg4 rectifier tubes in the power supply. it dates to 1961 or 1962, and does not have an option for v.h.f. The set is working fairly well, with decent picture and color, but has a vertical problem(probably a cathode bypass cap) and the red gun is a little weak on the 21fbp22. but, it has no cataracts, (it thas a safety plate in front of it.).when i get a little more time, i will restore the chassis fully. i love to see advertisements for internet items on that old, round screen(it seems a little uncanny to me), and i run the set a few hours a week, to keep it from getting stale. this is only the second one of these chassis i have seen in over 20 years of looking,(the last 29jc20 i found was lying behind an old repair garage, and the cabinet was beyond saving. i did save the chassis, though, and it did have a raster, and sound, when i hooked it to a tube 17 years ago. so, i do have a good flyback, power trans, and other parts, if i need them in the future.

i drove over 500 miles to get the set. it was in s.c. i got it for $75.00 i thought it was a good deal, but some people thought i was crazy to take a whole day "just to go get an old t.v. "

anyway, i am glad to join you guys on the site.
