I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that Silvertone console! My parents had one when I was a kid. I think Dad junked it over 20 years ago, and I've never seen one since. He couldn't keep it working. I don't remember watching it much, but it was a beautiful piece of furniture.
Nice set! That one probably uses a 9-160 power supply/HV module. The next generation sets used a 9-181 main module that laid flat in the bottom of the cabinet and a 9-186 HV/sweep module that stands up to the right of the main module. After that, they briefly made a chassis with stand up power supply and sweep modules with a horizontal main module. After that, they came out with the 9-470 single board chassis. I've seen many of those 9-160 modules where the flyback would arc and/or burn up.
The one with the pull out controls, my grandparents has a tv like that. They would have to leave that panel half way out for the tv to work. If not, the picture would become all snow.
@Retrochad It has On screen display right . My Zenith 19 inch had on screen display and had remote control,not ultra sonic . The led style remotes like modern television have . It mite as well Been advanced system 3 with remote control . I remember using a universal remote with it .I tossed it in the alley when I lived in Chicago 5 years ago . I thought the purity was off . I found out latter it was a speaker too close to the television , I forgot about that . I should of keep it . But the guy across the alley took it and sold it . He said it worked fine . Im glad too it came from Oshkosh Wisconsin and is now presently somewhere in Chicago Illinois .
I have the same set and it also has an awesome picture. Figures the cheapest Zenith set lasts the longest. For some reason it seems like the CRT in this model does not go weak. GREAT video Chad.
Do you know anyone who is trying to sell an old CRT tv from the late or mid 1980's and made by Emerson? A Magnavox Odyssey Pong CRT TV from 1972 perhaps? I'm just asking because these older TVs look awesome and they are very hard to find.
friend a query I have an identical TV when I turn it on, you hear a sound from the side of the fly back and when the back cover of the TV there is a rectangular ceramic white resistance very close to the fly back that lights up my question Is it like knowing if the fly back is already damaged or the TV screen is the one with the fault?
Zenith in English sounds like _ceenet_ . I say this, cause in Spanish I read _se-neet_ . A friend of mine who lived in US since 1978 to 1982 brought a Zenith TV set, in my country we used NTSC standar American norm (until today signal in air). I remember screen were dots, not bricks. For example, Sony Trinitron had a continue line from top to bottom bordeline, buy Zenith has dots, like Philips. In 1979 my father had a Sharp tv SET, and screen had briks, not dots. Today many people think that those cells on the screen are pixels. No no no. Pixel is something unconcret, it is conceptually another thing.
Wish I had a color tv from the 80’s, I only have a black and white
My brother had that exact set in his bedroom, Was a great set. Never had an issue with it.

yet another great vid retrochad! your television collection makes me quite envious
Freaking awesome TV set!
@xmaddict there is still analog. i cna get a few if i tried here.
I really like that TV, it really would look nice in my bedroom.
I grew up with a set like that I got about 20 years of use out of it. Compare that to todays lcd/plasma disposable junk.

@retrochad do you use a digital to anologe converter?
