See if the slug is still in the H.osc/hold coil. Somebody mighta screwed it all the way out and lost it. I've seen that happen before.

It'd be nice if I had a schematic. But you know, no model number. I guess I can fire it up again and see if they're red-plating, but I doubt it. But in terms of temperature, all three were too hot to touch. Like, I'd have blisters if I kept my finger on them.

a Zenith ! And if you think this is cheap you should see a GE !
This will run much better & last longer.......
lol, well... to be honest, the only TV I've really gotten into is a 90s Sony Trinitron. And that thing is built like a Swiss watch made out of plastic and PCBs.

It will often make a loud high pitched sound. It can overheat the 33GY7 also.

Nice call that is an 8LT8.

On the horizontal osc. coil, the slug is there, and it turns easily with an allen wrench. It doesn't appear to be too far in or out. I'm pretty sure the extension shaft thing just broke off at some point. But I didn't even think of messing with its adjustment while the set is running. I'll try that later, I have the whole set apart so I could scrub off the rat piss.

Horizontal hold thingy.

Be really careful turning that slug with an allen wrench as it's very fragile powdered iron and cracks easily. There are special tools called alignment tools ('diddle sticks') made for that.

The 33GY7 obviously has grid drive since you have a raster. Taking voltage measurements on the tube wouldn't really gain you anything.
