I figured out the ion trap, it was just stuck in place because it hadn't been moved in years.
Another weird thing is that even adjusting the ion trap there's still a dark spot on the top of the screen when I adjust the linearity and height adjustments.
And yes I did have the correct connectors for this thing, the same connectors I used for my signal generator is the same connector that TV Analyst uses (BNC to alligator clip leads.)

Good you got that working.
Now before you go crazy trying to set linearity on the Zenith... do you have a known good somewhat modern TV you can hook the B&K to, something to verify it didn't get it's own linearity messed up during shipment? It does have linearity adjustments very similar to a TV. And don't mess with them unless you have a TV that you know is very near perfect picture. You can even use the B&K Video out to go into composite video in on a newer TV. Here again it doesn't need to be perfect, you just need a reference so you know what it normally looks like. Everything is relative.
