It don't cost anything and you can delete them when nothing goes wrong. Do it in addition to making a map on paper when removing several parts, Electrolytics, etc.

I think digital cameras may not have existed when this set was taken apart, lol! (j/k)
But on the real... Thanks for the photo Doug... Plugged it in and I was in business! As has been said before on this forum recently,
I was really surprised and glad to see that even though chassis and CRT have been in different states and apart for many years, it doesn't appear I'll have to do much in the way of convergence, gun balance, etc. Pretty much has a good picture the minute I plugged it in. Here is a rather snowy channel 9 (Canada) which is not the best in basements on cheap rabbit ears:
Hockey games (mostly white ice) also not the best for showing off color!
Now on to the problems...
Cannot get channel 3 to tune in my digital box! It's right on the edge of wormyness and buzz:
Spun the fine tuning quite aways in each direction to no avail. When switched to channel 2, it's much better, but with bad sound...
Fine tuning does affect the picture, so I know it's engaged and functioning. However it seems the proper setting is just out of range. Channel 9 and low power UHF stations are also normal. I did try a little AGC tweak with no meaningful effect. My main fear is tuning "too much" and really throwing channel 3 out of range. Your thoughts?
Here is a screen shot back in the good ol' days of analog, so you know it's a typical Zenith in terms of picture quality...
