I just wanted to post this as a reminder that these and earlier Zenith 29JC, 27KC & 25LC be the ones to look for in 21" round color. With service-saver panel on bottom of cabinet, flipping the set on side for testing/recapping is preferred to a jig up. The later roundie chassis 25MC, 24 MC, etc were troubled by vertical output transformers, replicated and now made in Poland.

Now that I have this for the summer, field testing in the garage could generate some more issues, likely HV arcs The buyer will not be getting it until September, after said burn-in period. I have a 24NC31 chassis coming to complete a parted-out "Harvard" 21" (Carla on "Cheers" started the famous thanksgiving "food fight" after the gang watches a game on it at her MCM house) more Zenith fun while watching the 25LC.

23-25" color Zeniths I have to restore AND re-home at least 3 (I can't go back to RCA 21" just yet) will be posted under chassis numbers and model names:
25MC36 combo, 20X1C38, 20Y1C50, 16Z7C50 and finally my family's 12B14C52, all out of service due to "HV regulator VDR" issue. I will post thread on that gem DRH led us to - Thanks Doug!!!.
