Or maybe one of the electrolytic caps is getting tired.

If you only watch letterboxed movies you'll never know the difference

Letterbox indeed! You am correct about that module...according to the diagram inside (on the left) it's number is 9-147

Regarding that '69 set, if I don't hear something by tomorrow then I'll assume it's not gonna happen. Doze bastids!

Also... if I remember correctly if the vertical module goes bad it can shut down high voltage. I think Zenith tied in the high voltage into that module and nearby fuse. Also when I had a Chromacolor 2 repaired recently there are 2 capsin the high voltage section (on the backside of the chassis) that the repair center wanted to replace. Zenith used to sell them in a kit, I had to get them from Moyers. I had the tripler and those caps changed on my set. I also replaced the vertical and horizontal module. Set works pretty good now, but I have put it into storage and am using my 4 tube hybrid Chromacolor instead. It has a better picture and is not as "glitchy".
