Charlie,

Nice progress, picture looks great so far. zenith sets are known for that arcing in the 1v2 socket. Both of mine did the same thing, however the sockets were so far gone from arcing they had to be replaced. IN the other set, the socket was already replaced at one time, and I needed to replace it again. What I find works great for preventing the arcing/corrosion is some anti corrosion electrical contact grease. It doesnt conduct, even at high voltage, so its safe to use around the tube pins.
Good luck finishing the restoration
