1967 Zenith 13X15 12" B&W

[AUdubon5425]

Thought I'd share these pics of a Zenith model X1215-1, chassis no. 13X15. It's a 12" black & white manufactured in late 1966 (latest date code I found was December.) I was given this set in mid-2005, and I just had the chance to dig it out the other night. Sadly it received a few dings in storage, but is still in pretty nice shape, although she needs a scrub down and she's very dusty inside.

The picture tube is very strong (12CBP4). It needs some attention, as the UHF is weak (not pulling in stations very well,) the VHF tuner needs alignment (sound drops off when station focused) and I'm sure some caps and/or resistors have drifted, as the picture is not as clear as it was when I last plugged it in 3 years ago.

Overall I like this little set and look forward to getting her "right" sometime this year.
