Any more age and stress and it probably is gone forever. Afraid to tighten it down at this point. Actually I have another one in a restorable set that is just as bad, but would settle for one not so bad for now.
So, looking for one in better shape to buy. Any parts out there?
While we're on the subject, looking at these things makes me wonder if a 3-D printed replacement is feasible.

What would be wrong with replacing the entire convergence magnet assembly, unless you want it to be super-pure!
Just the magnet assembly, not the convergence control panel. The magnet coils must be about the same or close.
IIRC, I have two of the last Zenith roundies and they have the same style coils as Magnavox and others. You know, the ones with the color-coded coils.
The replacements, I bought ages ago, were made of a different color plastic.
The Zenith distributor in Milwaukee, had just about everything you ever needed for the repair of Zenith products.
