I JUST KNEW SOMEONE WOULD SAY THIS !
            -------


THE MACHINE IN QUESTION HAS BEEN OBSOLETE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE TRIED
ZENITH DISTRIBUTORS IN IRELAND,U.K. AND THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN THE U.S. - ALL
TO KNOW AVAIL. SPARES ARE NO LONGER STOCKED AND THE MANUAL IS OUT OF PRINT.

I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO PAY FOR THE ORIGINAL ZENITH PARTS,SO IF ANYBODY
KNOWS OF A SOURCE,LET ME KNOW.

ON THE OTHER HAND I AM NOT WILLING TO SCRAP A PERFECTLY SERVICABLE MACHINE
FOR THE SAKE OF #20.00 WORTH OF PARTS !
