'51 Zenith Porthole

So far, the cracked gasket does not appear to be giving any problems. I've run the set several times. Last night, I put new caps/resistors in the power supply/audio output chassis and then ran the set at least 1.5 hours.

As far as the shock hazzard goes, I think I'm safe by simply having the front bezel grounded to the main chassis. However, if this gasket gets worse, I'm sure there's a good chance of HV leakage.

At this point, I'm kinda leaning towards using grey silicon, but I'll give it more thought once I get the rest of the caps put in the main chassis.... which will likely be done today.
