OK so I figured out that the escaped magic smoke that I saw when I tested out the TV the other night before I finished recapping the Zenith Bugeye TV (the smaller 17" Zenith) was from the output transformer which I accidentally smoked because I forgot to hook a speaker up to it when I was testing it.
I have a couple of Zenith output transformers that I had salvaged from that old Zenith Console Stereo that I parted out but I'm not sure if any of them will work in place of the original output transformer in this TV, because they have 3 wire leads on the primary side instead of 2 like the original did, but also the transformer is slightly larger than the original transformer.
What do you guys think? See picture below to see what the replacement output transformer looks like compared to the original.
