Picked up a Zenith Roundie

[ohohyodafarted]

I got this one off of craigslist in the MIlwaukee area. Paid $25 for it. It has a rebuilt crt that was not run very much and tests like new. All 3 meters on the Beltron hit 95 in less than 30 seconds and the life test hangs for better than 20 seconds with all 3 guns of equal life.

And whats best is it works! Needs a convergence very badly though and the tuner is very dirty so will need a cleaning.

Nice one Bob! I missed that one somehow, I check CL almost every day. Love the price! Is that a '67?

Wow! That is a nice set. Those models originally had a rare earth phosphor 21FJP in 'em. 66-67-ish and one of the last roundie models. That, my friend is a keeper!

Very nice set and rare working order too! The funny thing is while I was viewing the pictures, that same turbotax commercial came on my set! lol

i had the same exact set in 1991 . Mine unfortunatly went to the crusher becuase it needed a new crt and at that time there was no internet and there was was not any crts anywhere around here to be found . Wish i would have saved it .

My father bought that exact set in august,1966.Had a lot of trouble,including a bad picture tube during its first three years.After that,it ran trouble free being played daily until dec 1979 when i bought him a new magnavox set for Christmas.The set still played when he threw it out in 1980.Sure wish I could find one now>>>
GREAT SET!!!!

Thats the best zenith roundie, the 24NC31 chassis had the best picture of them all.

Even better than the 25MC33? It must really be something. It is great to see another Zenith roundie up and running.
