More Zenith portable questions

[jmetal88]

I ordered the new contrast control this morning. It was only $6, but shipping was also $6, so it cost me $12, total. I think it'll be fine, the old one probably just burned out due to being in bad condition in the first place. The fixed resistors I have in the set now seem seem fine, even after extended use, and they have the same power rating as the potentiometer. Having fixed contrast is no fun, though, haha.
