Can anyone help me ID this mid to late seventies zenith?
hopefully someone out there can help me out, I have the same exact TV in the mid to late seventies, and I would like to find another. Its a 19 inch black and white and the ultimate in cheap plastic. I seem to remember that the UHF tuner was the click type and was extremely loud and flimsy as well as the VHF was. Any ideas?

Some dealers had that type of set on the shelf for years. They sold them at used set price, just to get rid of them.

Probably a 19GB1 chassis set. That chassis came out i think for 1976 pr so--and carried over till about 1979 or so--for their 19 inch and 22 inch CONSOLE BW sets too. I think I have a 19 incher somewhere.
An "OK chassis, cold with a small VRT for power...BUT I do NOT like the layout of it NEAR as well as the 19E/F B12 chassis that came before it. that one was basically a 'flat chassis BW SS set !!

Not a steel chassis for sure. IIRC its the one with an upright
plug in chassis. We were still selling them for abt $160 to old folk that wouldnt go color. Unlike the color sets most Zenith B&W's of the solid state years used crappy PCB's & were all Taiwan. Known for bad vert outputs & many had a hard to see 60 cycle shading bar that was fixed by adding a heavy ground to the rectifiers. ( see tech topics). Near 100% reliable otherwise. 73 Zeno

In the early '80's, Zenith made a 12" and a 19" B&W with digital tuning and an LED channel display. About 25 years ago, I saw the 12" version at a yard sale; but, they wanted $25 for it and that was what I was selling used ones for. So, I didn't get it and I wasn't really interested in collecting TVs at the time. Back then, TVs were something to fix and sell so I could buy more radios.
About 12 years ago, the local Zenith shop gave me a 19" version; but, it had been in a major accident. The CRT was busted and the PC board chassis was cracked; so, I junked it. I think I read on here that Zenith made a 22" version with the digital tuner and not many were made. By the early '80's, the popularity of 19" and 22" B&W sets was about over with, except for older people who didn't want color. As recent as the mid '90's, I was still selling used 19" B&W's to older people who didn't want color.

Good luck to them with that price. I think I got $10 for the last one that I sold like that.

I have the 12 and 19" versions with digital tuning. I find things with one foot in each technological era sort of interesting.
