Welcome to the dark side!

Your zenith set is quite the looker. If its been sitting then most likely the problem your experiencing is due to failing capacitors. They have dried up while in storage and have started leaking current through them. This can cause the erratic behavior in the vertical section. I will usually re-cap an older set like this one if I plan to use it regularly to make it as trouble free and reliable as possible. This is referred to as re-capping and you'll see it alot.


There are many TV nuts here around you. Feel free to poke around and ask questions

Again, WELCOME!
