Thank you for having me

Perhaps this should be my 2nd post, but I was not sure where to start.

Thank you in advance for what I am sure will be several posts.

I have put this off for many years but now have time and some resources to try and restore an old Zenith televison.

I can recall watching this box a child but it has not produced a picture in more than 20+, maybe 30 years.

Today I am a Network Engineer I but started my career with a soldering iron,
volt/ohm meter and O-scope.

My current test equipment consists of...
Two scopes
a student/beginer 10meg "Leader VBO 514A" (But it's bullet proof)
Hitachi 100meg V-1060

One 100-times high volts probe.

Service Monitor
IFR FM/AM 500A

A couple of Fluke meters.

Senocre Z-meter (I would have to dig this out of storage)

SIMPSON 260--series 8 (I am kind of proud of this one...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The BOX that I am tryin to restore is an old Zenith.
It is a "Super K Chassis"
The Model # is... M1800RUZ1

I have what I believe is an accurate schematic. I think it is a photofacts
from SAM's (It is very old and very worn)

Before I fix it, or break it further, I thought I that I might ask the community
for any input.

I know/think that two tubes are not as they should be.

Thank again,
sjphares
