Good on 'ya, Mate!

Gorgeous! And you're right: being a Zenith of that era you'll probably need to clean the tuner and then start watching it.

These are old enough that you need to change the lytics if you plan to run it regularly....on my 29JC20 it sort of worked as found. I ended up changing the bumblebee caps and the lytics sections that tested leaky and ran it daily for a year or two...as I ran it more sections of lytics failed...in some cases taking out resistors as they died..

They are good sets (the color quality is up there with the best), but the caps can be time bombs if you leave them.

Probably sold it cheap because the picture was sideways...

Omg I just got that... Haha!!

Nice set! How's the CRT check out?

Finally got the set. Has 95% of its original tubes. The CRT was low but woke up after cooking for 20 minutes. Has a raster with snow. The audio is a very loud buzz. The fine tuning doesn’t work and that’s because the plastic gear that turns the screw thing thats on the contacts in the tuner is cracked. I took it off to glue it, but being me, I lost it. Do any of you know how I can get a replacement?

I think I might have one. Give me a few days, send me a PM.
