[UPDATE] - Here's a video I decided to make to show a demonstration of the TV in action -> hxxps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUTq2pP39E
Thought I would share my story on how I acquired this television set.
In my City like many now, you can't just simply throw away old tv's in the garbage. You have to take them to a desinated drop off recycling centre. In some ways this is a good idea since you don't have to drive around looking for something special on garbage day, you can just simply drive to your local recycle drop off centre, I assume many do the same thing when looking for old sets to salvage. As usual i was on my way to do just that, when I got there I admittedly noticed the old wood grain paneling on two tv sets they had there. I assumed they were probably from the late 70s early 80s but I had no idea what make they were till i got a closer inspection. Upon closer inspection they were two 19" I believe the first one was a 1983 or 1982 RCA with the digital number panel but I didn't get the model. The other one was the one I salvaged the 1983 Zenith Z1926W manufactured at the Springfield,Missouri plant. It was a little dinged up and very dusty, but after some brief cleaning it looks pretty good now. I was actually pretty surprised it powered up with no problems!! not even any static from adjusting the volume pull knob! for a 31 year old tv

Also I was quite pleased to learn that apparently this was before Zenith moved production to Mexico. One thing I I would like to learn is what the Choromatic switch is for? and also what the Redi plug is for as well? Did it have a remote? I have supplied a photo below it was taken on a Blackberry so I apologies for the quality but you get the idea. P.S The Clock radio was also salvaged it's a Realistic Chronomatic 117 from 1974 I beleive. Hopefully someone out there has some knowledge of this model.
