Sure will, we have the same set! I really like that cabinet style. I have to replicate the arch piece on mine, it is missing, otherwise the cabinet is nice. Doug just sent me a PDF of the blueprint he made on autocad so there will be no problems making the piece. I will start a thread about the set when its done, should be in a week or so.

That arch is not complicated. It is strictly a cosmetic piece and not required for structural support so don't worry if you can't get it exactly right. I went to your site and I just love the pics. My favorites are the Zenith roundie combo and the Zenith metal cabinet tabletop set. Someday I would like to get a Zenith metal cabinet set.

Here are the latest screen shot since repairing the Zenith. I have only put two hours on the set since repairing it. I'm a little hesitant to use it much in case something else breaks.

Looks great. That must be one of the popular models. so far, three of us have this one. Anyone else have one? I too like the 25MC33 chassis. Certinaly the most common zenith roundie chassis one will find these days. Good luck with it. IT should last another 40 years now.

Very nice! It has a great picture! Good job fixing it up. Very glad to have helped you. With that print of the arch, I will be able to accurately make a new one, I know it's not all that important but I want it exactly as it should be, I'm kinda anal about these sets sometimes. When I restore one it bothers me when something is not right or "original".

Yea i have one also that I havent worked on in a few years. I broke a couple slugs in the convergence board trying to adjust them with an allen key. (convergence is WAY off and awful). So im seeking a new convergence board. otherwise the set is junk.
