I'm preparing for my first Zenith renovation. On old Philcos, I would send $7 to Chuck at the Philco Repair Bench and get a great 11X17 schematic plus service manual pages. Does anyone provide such a service for Zenith? I just received an 8x10 I paid for from another source which is not much better than the one I got online and the detailed info is hard to read.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, there isn't that I know of. You have to take what you can find at
www.nostalgiaair.org or
www.radiomuseum.org. Those are my two go-to sources for non-Philco sets. When I print them out, I enlarge to 200 % and tape the 4 pages together to make a nice big schematic.
Hi Mark
You can try looking here. The quality seems pretty good. If you have a printer, you can print them or I think they will print and mail them for $8.

I bought a CD from EBAY several years ago with all of the Rider's and Beitman's schematics. They were very good but unfortunately I can't find the seller.
I see this guy selling them. I can't attest to the quality, but it might be a good option too.

Looks like he sells printed copies for individual radios too. He says it's 13"x19" for $7.50 with shipping...

I usually print my own and will blow up and tape together for enlargements if I need to.
I have the set from KE3GK and they are hi resolution scans. Very readable. I usually blow up the schematics and tape together as well. The hi res pdf's are good enough to do that.
Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.
I have ordered a set from KE3GK.
