another zenith combo

[ctc17]

After fighting with a totally weird Zenith HV issue myself all day....all I can say about Zenith tube sets and their HV is they inspire a non stop verbal string of 4 letter profanity.

I dont know if these things ever worked right from the factory but they are so FING hard to fix! Every single one of them has some super bizarre HV issue that is so totally hard to figure out. The sets work, but the regulation is crap, the hv is way to high or fades when the set heats up. Some just annoying crap.

The only positive thing I can say about Zenith at the moment is the flybacks never seem to fail.
At one point today I had this 25mc36 up to 50kv and the stupid thing was arcing so loud it was hurting my ears, I didnt even know it was possible to get the hv that high.
GRRRRRRR
