Just acquired an X960 Zenith!!

It came out of a rectory basement at a church where I tune and maintain their pipe organ. Father said " Merry Christmas! I plan a full restoration. I have the changer service manual Z914. I am hoping to find an owner's manual or a scan of same that I can print if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have been waiting for one of these for a long time. I have the little brother to this that my PoP bought for my mom for Christmas in 1968 ( the 3 door model I call it ), fully functional and in use. It was the best babysitter my mom had for me. "

- I have all the hardware

Nice console, for sure.
But if you can't locate an Owners Manual, I'm sure you know how to operate it.
I've got one of those belt-drive changers sitting around the shop from a console pull - they were Zenith's best, and well made.
Now, of course, they'll all need a good going over.

Not 100% sure about this--Seems like a longtime ago, I was searching for some "odd ball" manual, and came up with a company called "manuals.com" ? They "had it " ! Might try a "Google search" ??

No luck with the manual search but it's only dressing. I brought her up slowly to see what I am dealing with. Dead left channel but radio and amp function ie; right side only. Now I guess I will put it on the list for restore.

Not used to working on Solid State and these capacitor values. I work almost strictly on tube. (2000mfd @ 75vdc?? 0.15mfd @ 50vdc??) Guess I will have to put a few values together. I have not been too successfull with JustRadios, Parts Express, Sal's or Schmedley's Capacitor Emporium. Any suggestions?

Found what I needed. Will have to source a couple of companies.
