25EC58 Tripler Question?

[jstout66]

I am trying to help a fellow VK member figure out what tripler he has in his set. I think Bryan is looking as well.
The VK member has a repair guy that will work on the set, but not chase parts. He was told the tripler is bad.

Symptom--- set comes on with a totally normal picture for about 5 seconds and trips the breaker. Since I am so weak in SS repair, I assume the tripler is overloading the hot, which is causing the breaker to blow? I was trying to determine how the repair guy has determined the tripler is indeed bad.
The only ones I saw that went bad caused a no high-voltage, bad focus, or arching symptom.

Issue: Zenith used 2 triplers during that chassis run. One with an internal focus block, one without. Now if memory serves.. the one without an internal focus block would have two red wires running to the anode cap?

I have asked the VK member to ask his repair guy the exact Zenith part number, but unsure if the tech will do it.

The Sams on that set should be 1370-2, but don't think that would help without knowing what tripler Zenith used.

Any suggestions/advice.
