anything else. But yours is OK. This is the process with the white one:
Cap opens but does NOT disable the HV. ( was designed to ).
HV goes up to abt 40 KV & set starts arcing.
Arcing blows vert module & DC gets on the vert yoke winding.
Winding heats up & cuts the neck off the CRT
Same thing happend to some Magnavox sets too.
Set looks very strong so should run near new when done.

Last night I was just watching a video on a zenith on Jordan Pier's channel and he was talking about that. Yap, I definitely don't want that happening.
CRT tester showed all guns really strong, however when I first turn it on, she has a pretty strong blue tint. Doesnt take long before it returns to black and white. besides that it seems strong and has waaay plenty bright enough screen. I am really excited when I get this finished and watch the nightly news on it. It's my first Zenith and I think I really really like this set so far. I already want another one lol.
but so far im striking out on the color problem. I cant find any bad parts. only thing that was off was some pins on the IC chip has the correct voltage and a few that are suppose has none. so I replaced the chip, reflowed everything. but no change to the problem. I went ahead and ordered a nos chroma board to see what happens.
