Sounds like you got a really nice set! Have a good crt is the best thing! Anythings an easy fix if the flyback and tube are good. Its good to see that members here at AK are basically the only ones buying up the old color sets on ebay.
About your space command. If yours doesnt work, remove that cable that connects the transducer to the space command chassis. Ive got 3 space command zeniths (luckily I have that many!) None of the sc worked. The problem was, the rca connector that plugs into the chassis gets somewhat corroded. disconnect and reconnect a couple times. Also turn the sensitivity back and forth a few times. Chances are, it will cure it. If that fails, change the axial electrolytic caps in the sc chassis. That was the problem with my sc400 roundie. After that, you should be able to tune channels 40-60 feet away! When I brought my 1974 sc500 table set home (its sold to spectrion now) I put the set on a stand in my garage when I first brought it home. I was flicking through channels from the across the street nighbors house front door step!!! Tell me, how many infared remotes can do that!! This was about 60-70 feet away! Now, the remote worked effectivly about 50 feet away, when I backed up another 15 feet or so, it would work after pushing the buttons 10 times. My thoughts on zeniths space command: The best cordless tv tuning system ever! Totally mechanical!
