Ouch!

Zenithfan -

I've got the same set as your 1967 but without the remote control and different speaker grilles. I got bit by the horiz. centering control as well - it was the weirdest green spark I'd ever seen and hurt like hell for quite some time afterwards. Really brought home the dangerous part of working on these sets - when it bit me, I heard the horizontal oscillator dip a bit, then return to normal as if I wasn't even there. Fortunately got my hand out without any collateral damage to other parts in the set.

I have the service manual for my set; I think it might cover yours as well. If you want, let me know the chassis number - if it's the same I can scan and email or xerox and snail mail.
