The set will need a new diode in the power supply as well.

The remote may be difficult to find, as it is a Zenith SC400 hand unit. Universal remotes will not work with this type of remote system as it operates with, IIRC, electronically generated ultrasonic signals, not IR (infrared) as with all modern remotes. I'd keep an eye out for an SC600 remote on ebay, though. Every once in a while these hand units turn up there with very reasonable starting bids.

I do not think, however, any other Zenith remote but one specifically made for the SC400 will work with this TV, as the control signals used by the various Zenith Space Command remotes varied in frequency; e.g. a remote designed for a Zenith SC300 (or any other Space Command ultrasonic remote control) probably, even likely would not work with an SC400 system.
