Hi Walter,
Thanks for forgiving. Do the newest Zeniths appear to be a Goldstar
design? I've seen trouble with with Zeniths, but not lately. The
few Goldstars I've worked on in recent years have been easy to fix.
They don't seem to break around here.
GE/RCA has always been good for business. Sony too. Hitachi about
the best (and nice to get free tech help and manuals too!).
