Welcome to Automatic Ephemera, a library for historical research and education, sharing public domain documents relating to vintage products for
the home. You are viewing the low-resolution preview, high-resoultion versions are also available for most documents.
The scanning of all high-resolution documents is done at 300dpi with the utmost diligence and care to produce high quality .pdf files which have text
search capabilities built-in to bring modern convenience to vintage printed materials.
The high resolution also allows for close-up examination of all images on your computer monitor and in many cases makes
reading the text easier than the original document. Quality printers can print these documents nearly identically to the original document. Maintaining a library as such is a
time consuming and expensive venture, all materials have a small download fee to offset the library's many expenses.
In order to read these documents you need Adobe
Reader 7 or greater installed on your computer. Click here for samples of the Documents in our library.

Automated Summary of Text on this Page:
The last point that we wish to bring out in connection with the Station Selector Switch on your new Zenith is the fact that Zenith designers have provided for the simple addition of new tuning elements into your receiver. Thus when the new high frequency television channels, now under consideration by the Federal Communications Commission, become available under present standards, your Zenith can be easily adapted for their reception. In this way you are assured of the ability to keep pace with the growing television industry.
COMBINATION ON-OFF SWITCH VOLUME CONTROL
The operation of this control is one that should be familiar to all. Clockwise rotation turns the receiver on and increases the volume, counter-clockwise rotation diminishes the volume and if continued until a click is heard turns the receiver off. In speaking of this control we wish to bring out the fact that it is important that the receiver be turned on and allowed to warm up for a period of at least 30 seconds before you wish to use it.
PICTURE CONTROL SWITCH
The Picture Control switch located immediately below the picture screen allows you to have either the Giant Circle picture or the smaller conventional size (Fig. 2) -whichever you" choose. This change can be made instantly and as often as you like.
