I had a Zenith with that chassis and I found that the CRT was totally dead when I first powered it on. After about an hour of running, it looked like new. Something about those Zenith CRTs causes them to temporarily lose emission after sitting unused for a long time. Even after only a few weeks of disuse, it took a good 10 min to come back to 100%. Being powered off for shorter lengths of time wasn't a problem though.
I'm telling you this so you don't zap the CRT again if it looks bad after sitting for a while.
