The big thing with this chassis is to CHANGE ALL the 22-5001 caps
that are white. Orange ones are OK. IIRC there are 2 on the FBT & 3 more under the chassis. Must use the right sub or they WILL short.
They open & the HV goes up a few KV for each one. That will kill
the tripler, divider & CRT socket. HV can reach 4++0-50 KV if all go bad.

Good call. Those caps caused all sorts of issues. Zenith issued a bulletin about them. Eventually, we just started shotgunning them.
