A lady gave me this set today and it makes the newest console TV that I've seen (2001 was the previous record). This is a 2002 Zenith 27" set and she said it got to the point it was shutting off and was hard to turn on, until I stopped turning on completely. When I tried to power it up, the HV would come up for a second and then shut down. The problem was a bad 100 uf cap in the SMPS. Fortunately, this set uses a bonded yoke Thomson CRT; so, none of those horrible Zenith tubes here. She also gave me a 13" BPC Sharp from '92 that WAS clean and supposed to be working; but, it got smashed by the Zenith when it decided to flip over in the truck. This set is really too new for my interest; but, maybe I can find it a home if I push it for six months on all the "for sale" sites.
