Heh, I think they want to fix it because it weighs around 270 pounds and
it's a struggle to move around.
 
I used to own the same model and it cost me $20 for a couple mexicans to
dump it somewhere.
 
It's from the early 90's and has a piss poor picture compared to even the
cheapest lcd/led tv currently on the market. I think that one had the
"teletext" service built into it.
 
Got that one straight out of the Zenith employee store when they had the
plant on North Ave and the 294. Was supposed to be a life-test set but
someone really failed, even though it was supposed to have the "Premium
Sound" package, it sounded like a $10 clock radio. A couple years on I
opened the back for something and the entire sub-woofer amplifier module
was missing. Just a couple connectors laying where the module went. Oddly
enough the sub-woofers were there, just missing the amp for them.
 
How they q/c'ed that for resale is beyond me.

It's only somewhat related to this, but I have a precision drill press
with a real goofy looking manufacturer supplied speed controller. I called
them up about something unrelated and and issue of weird bursts in speed
came up. You'd have no load on the motor and it would randomly start to
race.
 
The suggested fix was to open the speed controller and cut out a bridge
rectifier that turned the AC output of the triac speed controller and just
let the motor get AC.
 
It worked fine after that. I'm not sure why they added a bridge recitfier
in the first place, or why removing it made a difference but it did. The
motor is pretty similar is size to a sewing machine motor, and the
standard universal motor type deal. The whole controller is cobbled
together looking so I can't even tell if they added the rectifier or the
OEM did.
 
I'm sort of tempted to try the drill press with a properly designed
industrial speed controller (Dart Controls), with and without the bridge
rectifier to see how it behaves.

Do you happen to have any info on the amperage of the 10v line? I'm trying to mimic it to turn on an sa3 amp with no bose reciever.

Hi William,
 
As this interaction happened over 20 years ago, I only have a vague
recollection of this repair. Unfortunately, I am unable to answer your
question about the amperage of the 10v line.
 
Good luck.
