John, perhaps I will hold off on trying to doctor my insulator up and just keep an eye open for one.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out a puzzle. I was changing some stuff around the vert osc and came across a tired looking 100k resistor off the plate of the 6SN7 that was reading 1.4 meg instead of 100k. Put in a fresh resistor and ended up with two pictures... top and bottom of the screen. I double checked the color bands on the old one I pulled out... brown-black-yellow... and then put the meter on it again and it was still over 1 meg. Looked at the Sams, and compared to a factory Zenith schematic... both diagrams show 100k... and that's what was in there... just way out of spec.

I went back and tacked in a 1.2 meg resistor, and the picture went back to normal. While I obviously had a 100k resistor that went way up in value, changing it got the oscillator out of whack.

I'll have to go thru the rest of the vert circuits and see if there's something else that's causing this issue.
