Another Zenith find, a 4 tube Chromacolor hybrid!

19DC12 chassis, nicer set than my smaller Zenith delta IMO, mainly due to the slightly bigger screen and finer dot pitch.

This one actually works, but has some issues:

1. Focus control is turned all the way to right just to get sorta decent focus

2. Major blooming with contrast and bright turned up

3. Brightness seems to vary depending on what scene is showing i.e. it will ramp up on dark scenes and ramp down on bright scenes

I'm thinking the picture tube may be worn however I do wonder if it's something in the high voltage circuit causing these problems. The high voltage tube is the only one thats been replaced with a Westinghouse 6LX6, the set calls for a 6LF6, I wonder if those 2 are interchangeable or not...

I will probably fix this one up first, assuming it still has life, if not then I'll just focus on my smaller one.
