I just wanted to post some pictures of the Zenith 9-S-262 I am currently working on. I acquired this back in the middle of 2008 and began the disassembly process, but life took over and I just did not have the time to work on it for awhile so in the closet it went until March of this year. Luckily I took detailed notes and created a wiring diagram so I could remember how to put everything all back together again.

Here is the set when I first purchased it:

Note the scorched area near the antenna coil...

Here is the fried antenna coil. It took me 2 years with a saved search on eBay to find a replacement!

I'll need to follow this up in a reply to this thread. Apparently, you cannot have more than 10 images per posting. Stay tuned...
