Have you tried giving the tuner a good shot of tuner cleaner? If your set has a turret strip tuner as do most Zeniths of that era, that may cure the problem. The channel strip itself could have dirty contacts, but a good cleaning will get the others as well. The only thing I'd watch is the price and/or availability of tuner cleaner these days. The last can of tuner cleaner I bought from Radio Shack in 2002 or so cost about $8; now, almost 15 years later, it could be a lot higher, if you can find it at all anymore.
BTW: How on earth do you find the room for all those TVs you have?
I would think you would be just about out of room for consoles by now, especially since you have your '63 Admiral three-way roundie and now a second Zenith. The Admiral looks by far to be the largest of your consoles.
