1955 zenith
 

i just pick up a 1955 zenith model r 2360 ru , the tv is in perfect shape ,nothing missing or frankensteined ,it's like it was put in a time capsole all it needs is recapped maybe a picture tube not sure yet ,i don't no if it was factory or not but it has a glass protector on top cut to fit. :banana: i just got the schematic ,so i will probley start recapping and take my time going through everything this weekend,if i dont get side tracked . WELL in stead of starting a new post on this tv ill just reuse the orginal back when i picked up this zenith, i started on it this monday after sitting around allmost a year , i just got finished recaping and repairing some other things ,like remake the yoke housing it fell apart. but it turned pretty good i havent aligined anything yet just by eye its got nice sharp pickure camera dosent show it that well but this really turned nice.

Cool! - Zenith rules. Post a picture in at B&W-Projection, you'll get expert advice!

i will show some pic's when i get chance you will not beleave the condition its like new and its never been touched.i have been searching craigslist for awhile and this was only a block away from me ,couldnt beleave it.

i finally posted some picture's i have more set's like a 1949 rca victor floor model i will have to take pic of later.:D

Nice set, is it space command?

no that's the first thing i checked,i wish it was. if i need a picture tube do you know anyone who might have one ,i tested it but i dont realy trust my b k 467, i got to go through that to and make sure it's working right.

Very beautiful TV!
Hope the picture tube test good.
What is the picture tube number?

21zp4b even if it show's up weak i probley will put a new in it ,ill keep as a spare ,i like watching the old black white twilight zone on these older set's they go together nicely i have complete collection. can't believe that's how i bought it off craigslist the owner kept on trying to plug it in to show me the lines on the screan until i took cord out his hand ,ask him stop doing that. i already found 5 short and weak tube's .

People cant resist plugging old sets in. I bought a very nice 1954 RCA set and of course they plugged it in and left it on!!! Wouldn't you know it, A blown up 5U4 and a possible transformer open winding. AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!

yup if you look close to picture of the back of that was the first i had to replace one of the 5u4's the nice clean one ,he said it used to have sound earlier,as i was thinking about rapping the cord around his neck !!

Hey that's REAL nice, I had one of those with the same yellow cataract, 30 years ago! Its a T938 chassis, the last of the color roundies for Mag.

Seems you kitty likes it too!

Great find that Maggie color roundie!
Same here, I bet I've collected 100's of TV shows from the 50's and early 60's that I watch on my '55 Bendix.
Now you'll need to get some color shows to watch on that Maggie.
