RadioTVNut, In the 2nd picture, I see the coax disconnected from the antenna input board. Are you running VHF with the twinlead connected on the left side?

When cable came along, I just hooked it up to the F connector on the wire at the set.

I also repaired a bunch of these sets... lots under warranty. We did repairs at component levels, too. I always had a list of parts to replace when I would find something wrong, like the Hz output transistor.

I rarely had callbacks on Zenith sets I repaired. We rarely had problems with those board interconnect cables, unless one of the lock tabs was broken. I say this looking back, now, as most of the sets I repaired were under 5 years old. I havn't worked on a System 3 set in 15 years or more, now.
