My Zenith 25MC33 roundie is on its third vertical output transformer. The previous two shorted to the convergence winding. This is definitely a weak point in these components. The vertical on my Zenith has never been quite right. It frequently looks like it is going to collapse and sometimes does for a second or two and then comes back. I have not figured out what the cause is yet. I wonder if there is a way to have a more reliable replacement made for these vertical output transformers.
