Turn the buzz control back and forth until you find the minimum buzz setting.

Also regarding modulators, get a Blonder Tongue AM40, AM60 (if you want to transmit wirelessly), or BAVMz (get one that is set to a channel you want that is unused by local DTV) those are professional (cable co grade) equipment with manual modulation control provisions and will allow you to set them to NOT send buzz. They may need a few new lytics but are excellent after that when set up properly.

Zeniths one fault in the tube days was audio buzz. Some
sets you just couldnt tame completely. One last thing to
check is be sure the AGC is not set too high. The detector coil
could be touched up also but its best to leave that be.

Thanks everyone. Adjusted Buzz control. Marginal to decent improvement. At this point, ANY improvement is a win.

Zeno, you're breaking my heart. Just put the back on for the 32nd time in three days. I saw the ACG before I put it back on the last time, asked myself, "Gee, wonder what that does?"

If this is worth adjusting I would open it back up. What do I do, just turn it left/right while observing picture/sound?

Thanks again everyone, this site is so helpful (especially to someone just getting started).
