When I restored my Zenith I had trouble with flashing in the picture. I had to replace the video output tube. Tapping the tube with a screwdriver handle revealed intermittent shorting of the elements. It is not uncommon shortly after restoration to have a failure. Those parts have been sitting idle for twenty-five years or more. Stick with it though, the results are worth it. Once you get all the bugs worked out, you should have a great and reliable daily watcher.
