A nice chromacolor II came my way!
 

My friend with the tv shop stopped by my work to tell
me he had one of those zeniths that i might like.He said
that a customer asked him to carry it to the curb.I thought
it was probably a system 3 that wouldn't be of much interest.
Much to my surprise,I was greeted by a pristine chromacolor II.
The set played well,but had poor green response.I pulled the
back,and it looked like this was the first time this was done.
A check of the tube found a weak green gun.After a clean/balance
and a setup,this thing has a remarkable picture!Like all zeniths,
built like a tank!
19kc48 chassis--built in mexico september,1978
One question-do you zenith guys think I should replace the safety
cap as a preventative measure?

Nice save! The K line was the last CCII chassis and was made as late as 11/79 and maybe early 1980.

I think that safety cap will be fine. It's the white ones that were used in the E and F lines that you need to worry about. I've never seen one of the orange ones fail.

I may be wrong, but if the capacitor in question is orange, you should be okay. I think the high voltage issue only concerned the white caps.

Anyone care to verify?

Congrats - a nice score!

White cap BAD, Orange GOOD. It was the 1974 and 1975 production runs that had the bad caps. Nice find.

Very nice! Gotta love a Chromacolor.

Agreeing with the others, the orange safety cap is fine. Never seen one fail. Nice set too! That's the last Delta Gun tube Zenith...
