View Full Version : Zenith 16Z7C50 problem LADR 08-28-2018, 06:09 AM A few days ago I turned on this set and it had these bars. This hasn’t happend before and it will not go away. I unplugged anything that might cause interference but nothing. Also, the right side is much brighter than the left. Might this be a failed cap? zeno 08-28-2018, 08:50 AM Might be a cap. If it were a SS set I would say yes. See if its got a blanking tube ( 6KT8 ?) & try that. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! LADR 08-29-2018, 02:58 AM Might be a cap. If it were a SS set I would say yes.

I have a feeling thats causing the problem. dieseljeep 08-29-2018, 12:22 PM I found a big yellow 40 uf that’s leaking brownish black goo and its a little bulged. I have a feeling thats causing the problem. It could the capacitor that supplies the 24 VDC for the solid state IF strip, etc. It's worth a try, first! :scratch2: |
