The Zenith ACCIDENTLY...got placed in the shed behind my house many years ago. I came across it IIRC in about this time of 1997. I briefly played a bit with then...found out it DID get a picture at the time (not sure if it had COLOR ofr not then though...). and somehow...it ended up in my shed...forgotten about. I could NOT find it...when people asked about it a few times over the last 10 or so years,,,,but I KNEW...i STILL had it.

Then...last year....I was in that shed....ans SAW a corner of it. But there was a BIG wasp/bumblebee nest near it...making it IMPOSSIBLE for me to get it....till this last spring.,

I dragged it out....and checked it out again. it STILL came on...wiht a raster. It did NOT have that crap in it...at the time. I cleaned it out pretty well. But....I put it on my back porch UNDER a cover...but evidently...SOMEHOW..."something got to it" under there. And...it would NOT come on anymore...saturday....either.

SO...I am GALD it has been "passed on" to someone else who WILL care for it BETTER than I did...and bring it back to it's glory. I kept it out of the dump for 18 years...now...HOPEFULLY....it has a new, better home.
