1992 Zenith J0920X Portable Color TV

I remember the SEQ stereo badge being on Zenith's from the bad CRT era.

During the '80's and early '90's, I remember my school having a bunch of 25" wooden cased Zenith table model "custom series" TV's that used a pushbutton electronic tuner with a green LED readout and a standard volume/power knob. Years ago, someone gave me one of these sets that they found by a dumpster at a school that used the 9-181 chassis. All that was wrong with it was a cold solder joint in the vertical circuit that caused intermittent vertical deflection. Several years later, a church gave me a similar set that would only groan and produce a moderate hiss from the speaker. All power supply sources were low and the culprit turned out to be a dead shorted low voltage electrolytic cap inside the tuner module. After the bad cap was replaced, the TV worked fine. It's been my experience that TV's that come from schools and churches are usually in decent shape with strong CRT's because those sets didn't see nearly as much use as TV's in the average home.
