It is with a heavy heart, I post this.

I'm new to the site, but have done a lot of research on the posts and comments the last few months as I work through restoring a Zenith System 3 modular set.

I knew NOTHING on these sets, but this one holds a close place in my heart and I wanted to get it running again. These boards have been invaluable, specifically the comments and posts by user ID "zeno."

I'd sent an email message to zeno on January 4th, 2026 with a few questions on the 9-160 power supply and received word from his wife/widow on January 7th that he had passed that very morning.

I offered my condolences, and she replied with a thank you, and said;

"Zeno loved helping VideoKarma posts. It is what he loved."

I then asked her if it was OK if I post this news here as I know a lot of the veterans knew him well through the forums, if not personally. She said that would be great.

RIP to ZENO, and I'll leave the floor open for you guys to share stories, offer condolences, etc., and IF the moderators approve of this post.
