this is the 4th time ive had this exact zenith!
and it alwase comes back!
and its still working 1959
i cant post pix becouse the camera is broke

Hey Johnny glad you got your set home o.k. was mom mad about youbringing it home? good luck and next time do not look at the camera that is why it is broke... just kidding tell your grandpa I said hey and do not forget my Andrea tv or the real one ....Timothy

this set plays GREAT for a long time i just got done watching "office space"!

does anyone know why when i shut the tv off the picture tube makes a bunch of tiny clicks aswell as when i turn it on

I believe that would be static electricity from the HV.
