Hey RetroChad, I was wondering if you could help me with a 1985 Zenith television i have. Itl flicker randomely to a green screen when in use, and when its not completely green the picture streaks in gree. the sound is still on when this happens, and the green screen will flicker back to regular if the tv is prodded, but i cant help but think their might be a permanent fix. If anyone could help me it would be you retrochad. Please help!

I am convinced there is nothing you cannot fix if it is electronic, or at least know SOMETHING about mechanically. Now, when did you say I could send my record player to you? heh

I love old buses and trucks. Special School District of St. Louis County used to own several Carpenter buses. I also do remember the Waynes. I would love to see the 1971 Wayne get running again. Plus seeing one run with the wipers running on the '71 Wayne.
