Good thread about your restoration, Zenith 6S321! Problem is that I don't have all the nice equipment that you do. I do have of course have a digital VOM, and a 20 MHZ scope, HV probe, color bar generator, a variable isolation transformer, variac etc, but I don't have things like a B&K analyst, or sweep and marker generator. Another thing that I don't have is a test picture tube jig, and I'm not even sure that would work with a CTC2. Usually, I change all the electrolytic caps, the old wax capacitors, and any out of tolerance or burn't resistors, but alignment is not one of my specialties, except maybe adjusting the sound detector, 4.5 trap, or 3.58 osc. coil to get the color to lock in. I have never re-stuffed the cans, as I usually just find room underneath the chassis. Maybe it's time I try my hand at re-stuffing them. If the selenium rectifiers have not already been replaced with diodes, I plan to do so, putting in appropriate dropping resistors. I used to have an old Eico sweep and marker, but it was so unstable, that is was useless, and got rid of it many years ago. This project is going to turn into quite a challenge, and possibly buying some new old stock or good used test equipment. (E-bay is my friend!) It would be nice to have or make up some cables so I can hook up the CRT while the chassis is on the bench. That would make servicing it so much easier. (Clip leads are great, but not in this instance). I do have a couple of yoke adapters though. I have repaired TVs since 1972, but I have never taken on one as old and involved as this. Wish me good luck. Walterbeers
