Zenith 25HC45 issue

[sampson159]

thats a ecg 556 tripler. i have a working chassis for that same set. my dailey watcher was the same until i got my roundie going. through the years,i have seen everything done to an arcing tripler. do as radio says-replace it! rule of thumb-if it is zenith-save it!!!

Thanks for the help guys. Looks like the casing on the tripler just cracked across the whole back side of it, allowing for plenty of leakage. I just went ahead and ordered a replacement from Moyers... should have this set back up and running proper again in no time. Outside of that issue, and maybe some dirt from sitting around all these years, this set seems to be in fine shape.

I have that same chassis in a "panarama" set from 1976. Has the same tripler issue, but I just RTV'ed mine since it was a garbage find and I didn't want to invest any $$$ in it.

I would love to GIVE it to somebody. It's taking up room in my garage, and when car-working-on season comes, It'll have to go.

Carmine I would buy that from you but how the heck would that be possible. Last time I saw one of these on NYC craigslist, the guy wanted 100 bucks. And apparently his was from the 60s..... lol.
