Watch a 1969 Zenith color TV and the Sencore CR7000 CRT Analyzer

[HoneycombAgent]

Low hour?  What's with the cataract on the screen?

[whiskeyify]

I always used the low or auto mode on my older sencore, if it didn't work the first time I'd do it again, I think it's best to use the low settings if possible.

[whiskeyify]

I used to have the older model sencore crt tester, used it many times and it worked well. used to work in a repair shop.

[schomminater]

Does this set have the cataracts that you have talked about in past videos?

[lostsound2001]

Cool Old Set...I like the Old round tube color set..

I need help with a Maganvox TV ..Dating the set and getting parts for it..any help would be helpful ..Peace Old Hippie

[geekforlifevandc]

[mattsprinter]

What is that yellow stuff around the TV screen? Maybe cataracts or moisture?

[5france3]

very well ,i like zenith tv :)

[ConcertinaGuy]

Wow, Doug you have 2 sweet pieces there.  That set is really killer. And the crt tester is awsome.

[LaughTonyLaugh]

Makes me miss having an old Zenith Tv Im origininally from the Chicago area so we had alot of those

[68lincoln]

Another great video Doug. 1969 my favorite year. The good old days.

[zeldajunkielol2]

I just recently bought a B&K 455 CRT tester, I'm hoping that I'll be able to learn how to use it seeing as it only has one meter.

[Edison1252]

Fantastic find! Thanks for the video. Also, thanks for the Sencore demo. I am a long time Zenith guy and a big fan of Sencore test equipment.

[margaretsville]

Nice big oval speaker in there. A far cry from the tiny 3 inchers in today's flat panel tvs.

[1972jeepcommando]

What's that yellow around the screen?

[dmine45]

@1972jeepcommando I'm wondering as well. Were the former owners smokers and that's tobacco stains? Or is that some sort of discoloration of the picture tube after 42 years? (BTW, the TV was made the year I was born!)

[spatsbear2]

Such a beautiful set, and with ultra-low hours. Zenith is definitely my all-time favorite brand of televisions.

I love the CR7000. This is my first CRT tester... and the restoration functions on it work quite well. My worst case was a near dead Motorola Works in a Drawer. Had to hit it on the extended setting but it bounced back and is holding with excellent emissions.

[HardKnocks60]

Doug, I'll bet your new Sencore CRT tester will be a welcome addition to your complement of test equipment, it looks like a real Cadillac!!

The color on your 1969 Zenith is DAZZLING, to put it mildly!!  That was a very well-spent $5. I remember as a youngster in those days, you was king of the block if you had a color TV. Neighbors would ask to come over and watch a ball game or 'Gunsmoke.' It's a shame about VHF analog going dark, but at least we can still buy Blonder Tongue modulators.

[Nintendoman2020]

That looks like a really nice tv you have there. I was really impressed with the quality of the color and most of all the condition it's in. It looks like it just came out of the box.

[Turkeydoodlers]

Lol..

:) no worries Doug, just giving you a hard time, I always enjoy your videos. I check a few times a week to see what you got new. Do you have any console stereos from the mid to late 50's era?

Have a good week Doug.

Mike

[jeanious2009]

I will miss you.... static.

[Jallge]

Thats a great TV, i love when i see something old and in like new condition

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Zenith sure lived up to their word back then. 42 years later still works like a champ. I like how Zenith still used the point-to-point chassis instead of the printed circuit late as 1969. I love how it has a 6x9 speaker.

[MrTrenbo]

I'm looking for a nice old Zenith record player. The last one I bought had been neglected for too long. Any advice or do you have any for sale? Great video by the way. Very informative.

[Turkeydoodlers]

Actually it's July Doug lol..

[drh4683]

@Turkeydoodlers

Oops!  Haha. I screw up my talking alot when Im preoccupied trying to analyze a TV and be a good narrator at the same time.

[Turkeydoodlers]

What's the green color around of the edges

[HDXFH]

What about Japanese Tubes, Mitsubishi brand etc, does this analyzer support those tubes aswell or just the ones listed in the manual

[pskittle488]

Excellent video. I'm curious though, weren't you concerned about bad capacitors (eletrolytic and paper/wax) when you powered it up? Would it need this service?

[OlegKostoglatov]

@pskittle488 None of the big manufacturers were using paper and wax capacitors by 1969, they had already switched over to mylar and ceramic caps by then. The electrolytics can be a problem however, but those aluminum twist cans are quite reliable.

[bandersentv]

Wow! That CR7000 is really sweet :D

[vwestlife]

Truly amazing! And with that big speaker and cabinet, the audio sounds great too -- lots of bass.

[danawadd]

Hey... that looks exactly like the model my parents had when I was a kid... wow... I'm getting goosebumps. My mother only bought Zenith when it came to televisions! ;)

[TheTarrMan]

Awesome TV!!!!

[PigsInBlanket]

The only analog channel that I pick up on my 1978 Zenith is VHF Channel 6 because the single varactor tuner doesn't have UHF channels 29 and 44, the only analog stations left in the suburbs.

[PigsInBlanket]

I'm having some problems with my 1972 Zenith 4-Tube Hybrid that uses the 19CC19 chassis. I thought it had a horizontal deflection issue, but a second opinion told me that one of the 4 tubes was busted. Send me a PM so I could provide details. My friend, who gave me the second opinion, can't find the tube necessary to fix the picture. I live in the Chicago suburbs.

[lazimofo90]

now thats a good television set there not one of those flimsy looking modern lcds like I have

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

A perfectly working TV for just five dollars? These vintage TVs are extremely under appreciated.

[andyman30]

"The quality goes in before the name goes on"

[Trance88]

Wow! Nice set! Are you planning to get rid of that yellowing around the outer edges of the tube?

[RetroVintageItems27]

Hey that phone on the ground do you have a video on it???
