Zenith 16Z7C50 problem

1 Attachment(s)

A few days ago I turned on this set and it had these bars. This hasn’t happend before and it will not go away. I unplugged anything that might cause interference but nothing. Also, the right side is much brighter than the left. Might this be a failed cap?

Might be a cap. If it were a SS set I would say yes.
See if its got a blanking tube ( 6KT8 ?) & try that.

I found a big yellow 40 uf that’s leaking brownish black goo and its a little bulged. I have a feeling thats causing the problem.

It could the capacitor that supplies the 24 VDC for the solid state IF strip, etc.
It's worth a try, first! :scratch2:
