Zenith Roundie HV Question - Help Please

[Bill R]

I usually would replace the damper, regulator, and hv rectifier tube if I did any work in the HV section.

Get ahold of a Sam's Photofact. Most of them have resistance charts in them (measured resistance from point A to point B is... scenario) great place to start.
Before you waste a lot of time, try that, and let's hear what happens. Good luck.

I have the Sams for my set. I have ordered the power tubes from AES. They should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens. I would at least like to get a picture on this set before I have to disassemble it completely to send the cabinet for refinishing. It is going to take me a while to get all that vintage dust and crud off of the chassis. I suspect that mos of the set is good because I have sound, tuning, I can hear the vertical oscillator running and I can get some output from the flyback.

It looks like we're missing some posts here. Anyway, I contacted Scotty at Hawkeye and he says he can rebuild my tube. I plan to ship it to him next week. A real plus is that he can get rid of the green halo. I was prepared to live with it even though it bugs me. In the meantime I will start cleaning up that chassis and getting the cabinet ready for the refinisher. This is the most ambitious restoration I have ever taken on not to mention the most expensive. I don't know how some of you guys manage to restore and maintain multiples of these sets. It is definitely a labor of love.

Also make sure the grounding of the CRT outer aquadag coating to the chassis is good.
