i had the exact set back in 84-85.neighbor bought it and at a party,somone fell over the set and busted the plastic cover on the crt.the set had high voltage but no picture.crt wouldnt light at all.i traded her a working 19 inch sylvania for it.found a crack in the socket board.a little solder and it was repaired.had it 2-3 years and gave it to my best friend.the crt died a slow,painful death in a year or so but we lucked into a nice rebuild and he was back in business.set is actually still going as of this year.crt looks pretty damn good for almost 30 years.it is a channel mastr opti chrome series,i believe.

No doubt mine has the original CRT. It has a sticker with the same model number and manufacture date as on the back. I never saw that sort of thing before.

Jon you have got a great set right there. Would you believe I had the same identical set back in the day. The tippler blew out and I never got around to replacing it. You know if we had the net back then I bet a lot of sets would have been saved. After nap bought Sylvania and ecg nap discontinued replacement parts for the Sylvania design's. I always like Sylvania's one of my favorite sets.

Thanks for posting the pictures brings back memories of me and my parents and my sister watching tv Newhart show together after dinner.

Okay, this set has been turning itself off lately. It doesn't act as if the power button was pressed, it flickers and goes out with a low buzzing from the speaker.

Two things run across my mind you might want to replace one the Tripler and the filter cap. that set might have the run cap like the zenith Chroma color 2 sets.

I'm not sure what you mean by filter cap. I hadn't heard of run caps.

This set has made snapping noises while warming up since I got it. Is that a sign of a bad tripler or is it just because it needs a good cleaning inside? Finally, what would I look for in a replacement tripler?

It's the tripler. Especially if it's an original. I just replaced one in the '77 Sylvania GT Matic I have here.

I was able to cross reference the Sylvania part number with a little googling. Mine ended up being this one:

Thanks. The tripler probably is the original considering that it's just as dirty as the rest of the horizontal output/HV stage. Fortunately CRT emissions were great from the get-go and a single restore zap on each gun brought the life test results back to like new.

Actually it seems as if the tripler was replaced at some point. I just pulled it and it's a 556. It's the only one of the three mentioned that's not available on eBay, great.

Either way, that's good to know. I wonder what the Zenith part number is.

Back cross it in an ECG catalogue. Look at the list of Zenith
numbers that start with 221-###-# ( IIRC its 221-, maybe 212-) &
find it that way. Sorry for bad memory.......
