Zenith 27KC0Q (Chancellor) resto and swap thread

[Electronic M]

Looking forward to it.

Carmine's Halo-lite is the model I've always wanted and will be displacing a place holder Halo-lite model I've had a few years.

Wow, they necked your chancellor too...I guess when 2 non-collectors are moving 8' of 200-400 lb furniture the level of give-a-damn in those movers isn't very high.

Did you ever check if that rectangular color is a MC or NC chassis?...I like it either way but knowing which helps me know if it leaves before winter or I try and make it a permanent resident of the collection.

Let me be fair to the shipper... He didn't neck the set. He hasn't even arrived yet. I've had this Chancellor stored for a long time and it was necked when I got it.

I didn't pull the back on the rectangular set because it's wrapped in plastic (from a move years ago) and it kind of helps protect/seal, I can try to take a peak in when I head back over to the building and meet the shipper.

Photos of things waiting for the truck:

I'm sending two yokes because the original might be compromised (insulation between h/v windings) after the necking. Also my NOS cloverleaf




I just sent the control panel minus doors to keep things easier. I vacuumed the chassis, but I'm sure there is glass hiding somewhere. There always is. The TV and Stereo tuner are in another box. Yoke/Space Command are another box. Stereo amp is a third box. Three cardboard boxes in total.



Here's the Halolight. I added some stiff foam to the front and taped carboard and secured the glass. It fits tight, but this should keep it down over bumps.



The rest of these are just to help me reassemble.
