Get a head start on next Avanti issue

It was sensitive enough to have waving issues until tension was fixed. Now it's very minimal if gone on most tapes.

Cheers,

I dont remember the 9-70. Maybe it was for the early SS
19" B&W TV's but I would think it would have had a lower number.
I think they predate the color set.

BTW Zeniths first 3 SS TV's were B&W's. Do not pass them up !
1) Royal 1290 the first. 12" very rare, never seen one
2) a hand wired 19" with plug in transistors. Seen a few.
3) a set with duramodules. Seen a few. Maybe in consoles also ??
Any early SS B&W's made in USA are worth getting IMHO.
They were a premium set that worked awesome when running
right. Remember them from RCA, Syl, Philco, Motorola.
Just be careful of rebranded JP sets.

The Zenith CRSP in the message I was referring to shows the 9-70 as a replacement for the 9-57, which TCA has in his Avanti. I can't find anything else on the 9-70, except for a listing in a 1988 PTS Module price list. They too show it as a Horizontal/AFC Module, and it is definitely not a BW module..

I've been looking for one of those for years, and have yet to find one, never even seen one outside of the Sams folders or Zenith service manuals.

Anyway, I've been following these threads, I use exactly the same set as my main watcher (25EC58 Zenith in the Avanti cabinet with the remote). I had to replace the tripler when I first got it, and it currently is giving me some weird intermittent problem with white horizontal lines flashing across the screen, but I like it.

Good luck with the hunt. Thats one of the few sets I would
pick up.
I assume you changed all the 22-5001 caps in your Avanti,
they can cause some odd problems. Also gotta watch the
focus divider, Sometimes when they are going the CRT socket
arcs & goes bad. I have seen the dividers turn to a blob &
the people still watching it !

Mine had a nice blue corona during humid days. It also like to go after my finger. Replacements can be had if you don't want to replace the tripler as well.
