Hi, I recently picked up this zenith remote set (no remote sadly) from about 1959. Chassis number is 16D25.
206450
I’m not really sure whether or not to put it in here or the rectangular set section. Because like can you really call this a rectangle?? Sorry in advance if it’s in the wrong place.

It’s a super low hours set, CRT tests great, basically brand new!
I’ve gone through all the effort of recapping it, and it worked fine for about 10 minutes and then the yoke started arcing out on me! I believe the adhesive corroded through the windings. I read that was a common problem with these sets.

Does anybody have a spare zenith yoke that would work with this set?
I’m willing to pay for the yoke and shipping.

Part number for the yoke is 95-1666

Any help or pointers to where I could find one would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If it helps, the Zenith 95-1666 crosses to a Thordarson sub, Y55.

If the outside of the CRT isn't a perfect circle (regardless of how it's masked) it's technically a rectangular CRT no matter how rounded the corners are.

Well then a predicta wouldn’t really fit in here either would it,

not that we are really that picky! :P

No one is gonna call the “rectangular peg in a round hole police” on ya! :D

The Merit cross is MDF-136. Early Television Museum says they have a MDF-136-R. I do not know what the -R means and merit does not list a -R in their catalog.
