I don't remember when you got it, but it looks like it got a little gassy over the years. I wonder if it has a glass pinch off or copper?

Yeah it is the one with the messy frit.
Tubejunkie: Your welcome, good luck on yours as well.
Be glad you have a metal cabinet set...The chassis shelf on this set is made of the CRAPPIEST particle board I've seen in any wood cabinet Zenith(or any other make for that matter), and I have Zeniths older and newer than this.
I THOROUGHLY degaussed the CRT as well as it's mounting hardware last night, and reinstalled the CRT. After setting the CRT back up I'm getting GREAT purity, and the adjustment range of most of the neck hardware has greatly improved!
I'm going to put this set on hold until the schematic from Dave gets here, then I'll dig in to the vertical.
Here are some pictures of it as of this morning.
