Zenith Console combo

[DaveWM]

progress, on off switch on stereo tuner fixed, took it apart and vigorously rubbed the contacts. seems ok now, but time will tell.

Now the decison, to I leave the replacement stereo in or put back the orig. The replacement has a slightly different face (mostly the way the channels are layed out).

Its a nothing job to replace it. But then again the switch may act up. I think I will just use the orig and test the switch.

I just got in some HV caps that I needed to finish off my 20Y1C38 zenith so I will button it up, leave the CRT for now (its the one with a weak reg gun but not too bad after it warms up), and then I will pull the chassis on this console and go over it. Its a filthy mess so I will start by a gentle cleaning, then will check the B+ for for shorts and leaky caps. If that goes well then will pull the HOT and VOT and do a slow power up to see if the filter caps are ok. after that the reg test.
