has anyone gotten in touch with Ian, I sent him something but received no response.

Best way to reach him is via any of the major IRC channels (Apple II, vcfed, etc., where he is 'Sark') or by phone. He's not on email very much. On Wed, Oct 2, 2019, 9:54 AM Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I'd hate to see this get trashed, but I'm not in a position to acquire it myself... even for the $1 asking price.

Thanks, Jeff Salzman

Yes, I remember those zenith TVs very well ( I used to be a Zenith dealer) Boards were really not that difficult to repair. I still have an older Zenith system 3 console TV 25 inch with turntable, 8 track recorder and ultrasonic remote control. (If anyone wants it, come an get it!) The "space phone" feature came later. Which was really not that good. Personally, I like the other Heathkit TVs with the on screen clock display and such. Mike R. Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

FYI that TV is a Zenith System 3 TV, they were good but had a couple of common failure points, mainly the verticle module. This TV is very different than the older Heathkit TV's which where designed in house and included some pretty interesting features for the time and could be quite expensive like the GR-2000 was.
