Hi guys,
I've assembled a couple Zenith built K7000a's from parts chassis' that I've picked up from a few fellow KLOV members over the last couple years.
Have in total; (3) 25" main boards, (2) 19" main boards, (1) CR23 socket neckboard, (1) CR31 neckboard model 456, (1) P545 remote front control board. I think I enough parts to fix two if I can score another remote PCB.
The questions:
- Does the P545 remote board go with the 19", the 25", either, or neither?
- Every chassis with a remote board had the brightness POT (VR6) missing without anything else soldered in it's place. There were a bunch of POTS missing since these were parts chassis. Do I need to have VR6 on the main board? My guess is yes.
- my pilfered HOT is a BU2520DX. Manual calls for a 2SD1556. Am I good to go with this one? I compared sheets and think its a suitable replacement that can carry a bit more current, but there sure is a lot of info in those sheets that I don't fully understand.
- The Molex connector for the remote plugs in either way. I traced it out and believe I have it correctly connected as shown in the pic. Am i right?
I've spent hours searching but there just isn't much out there on these Zenith built chassis' that I can find helpful. I will be testing and hoarding the extra flybacks for future fun.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good day
