hate to see a nice set ruined like that. Back in college I thought about making a guitar amp out of a ugly 60s Zenith 19" b&W.. Use the chassis, transformer & audio output trans, and put a speaker where the CRT was, but never got that far. I parted out a couple 15 years ago when I was moving and didnt have room, I had like 5 of them ...those sets used to be plentiful $5-10 garage slae items back in the 80s, Wouldn't do that now, unless the set wasnt savable. I did keep the 3 best ones. I did save the power transformers for future tube amp or radio restorations. I must have had at least 10 Zenith B&W sets from 1960-1970 or so at one time. Every single one of them worked OK. when i got it from a garage sale, although a couple had crts that wernt so bright anymore.

You wouldn't happen to have saved the vert. out transformers from those (I could use one)?

Well, he put over $2,500 worth of parts and labor into it, so OF COURSE it's worth that much! Now pay up. ;-)
