Found a Zenith

[Penthode]

Today's front page of the university newspaper depicted a fellow strumming a banjo on the front porch of his lodgings. My eyes immediately went to the Zenith color TV sitting on the front lawn.

The house was just up the street from where I work. I knocked on the door. A girl answered and a guy upstairs said "does someone want the set? Tell 'em it doesn't work!" The girl said she was sick of it and just take it.

It is a 24MC32 and here is the newspaper clipping and my cell phone pictures of the set after I retrieved it. All the tubes are in place, the cabinet is faded but sound apart fro a broken leg and the only other thing I see broken is a minor convergence coil plastic breakage on the convergence panel. The front panel and a couple of knobs are missing. It appears otherwise quite clean inside and restorable.

I shall shortly test the CRT.
