"Thanks! I ought to get a couple of spares eventually. If my 23GC45 has one - I haven't looked closely yet - that's probably going as well. Right now my Electrohome has a couple of vertical lines on the screen at all times. The Zenith gets one on the right that goes away after a few seconds."

My 25GC45 has one, yours is the 23" version of the same chassis, so I'm sure yours does too. The value of the capacitor in those ferroresonant transformer is important, so you really need to get the right one.
It's not a standard motor-run capacitor value, the first place I looked for a replacement was electrical and HVAC supply websites. That TEDSS site is the only place I was able to find the correct part.

The cap in my set shorted out without warning after the set was on for a couple of hours. It'll pop the circuit breaker on the back when it shorts.
I replaced it with a cap I had from a parted out set, but who knows how long that one will last.
