my roundies are frequently needing more repairs

They're getting old, my friend. I use a '65 Zenith with a 25MC33 chassis regularly. After the restoration, it had a few problems as usual but they ironed out. So far, the roundies I fixed have stayed fixed. However, they don't get used much besides the one I just mentioned. Your problems seem to be cap and resistor related and you should be able to track it down. Good luck, I hope you get them going right.

That's it. But since it's our hobby, it wouldn't be any fun if they never needed any work. I don't watch any vintage TVs on a daily basis, but I did use my '72 Zenith 25DC56 color set on a daily basis up til about 2 years ago, then my ex-girlfriend continued to use it until 6 months ago, when a friend gave her a wide-CRT RCA hi-def set. I picked up the Zenith, and it's here at my place, but I never seem to use it anymore. I've had it since I bought it at the Salvation Army store in '81, so I'll keep it. It's been with me through earthquakes, many moves, and a fire.
