Zenith TV Part Source
Greetings! A friend of mine was moving his TV the other day and broke the
coaxial cable input connector off. He soldered it back on the board, but is getting fuzzy reception on channels 40 and below. He needs a new PCB, or the actual coaxial F-style connector that gets soldered onto the main PCB. Below are the specs of his model number. Can anyone help? He doesn't have $100 to spring for a new board, so any help locating either a used one or junk one would be appreciated. Zenith Service B36A24Z Serial 922-65370413 Mfd Date SEP 1999 The PCB is: MAIN PCB 9-2069 CW |

Why replace the board when it probably needs just the tuner or rf
switch? Provided more damage was not done during the repair attempt, a good technician can replace the rf connector with a new one that is made to be soldered. |

I'd help him out as I'm somewhat experienced with chip-level board repair
and have a pretty decent Weller rig, but have no idea where to get the connector. That's sort of why I'm fishing for a junk board. Do you have any ideas on where to get a new connector?

I doubt the connector is bad. I've always been able to reuse the old connector unless it got lost. Andy Cuffe -- Use this address until 12/31/2005 -- Use this address after 12/31/2005 |

MCM Electronics may be a good source for the connector. The part number for
the tuner will be physically on the tuner. tuner will be available from a Zenith/LG parts supplier. "Andy Cuffe" wrote in message ... On Mon, 15 Aug 2005 01:13:16 GMT, "CW" wrote: Greetings!

I usually just used the RCA coax connector in cases where the original is missing, at least. Due to its construction, with the multi-sectioned surround, I'd just break enough sections off to make it fit in the hole. Good solder all around and it's back to normal.
