Photos of Old Color TVs

[John Folsom]

Hi All.

I am posting these photos of my Zenith Model CM1699E 15" color TV in response to the call for photos of old color TVs, and to augment the nice photos posted by Mike Drown.

The set is complete, except for a broken CRT neck cup on the back cover (not shown). I have not yet started the restoration of the set, as it has a bad vertical dynamic convergence transformer. I will be attempting to have a replacement wound, and if successful, I will continue with the electrical restoration.

I would like to thank Dave Johnson, Wayne Bretl and Mike Drown for copies of schematics, photos, and scans of the 1953 Zenith Annual report, and general help and information.
