Should i bother restoring a zenith?

Yep, and I'm actually REALLY glad that you bumped this thread. I came across this out of a Zenith color set that I parted out this past summer. I *believe* this is a spare to the one you're looking for, yes? If so, it's yours.

That one looks like the hoz hold coil.

The line in the picture is probably a barkhausen or snivet. (sp?)
Saw a few caused by hoz output tube. Dont remember any more
about them, think is was more common in the olden days.

Hey guys ,

Speaking of Barkhausen , does anyone remember the little magnet gadget that was supposed to mitigate it ? Not the "Damper Rings" like the Audiophile guys now use , but more like something looking kinda like an ION trap , just designed to fit around a Horizontal output tube . In all my years of TV repair "back in the day" I recall seeing 3 or 4 of them , but never experimented with any of them for fear of having my fingers THAT close to a running Horizontal Output . I presume one was to rotate this about the tube till the raggedy picture edge went away , and then tighten it into position with a little thumbscrew .

Those WERE ION traps...Most HO Tubes were about as big around as a CRT neck so it worked.

Well, the set in the photo is a few years newer, but the coil could be the same. I have the part # somewhere here in another thread and in an email, but not right in front of me. On another computer actually, but I'll get it and post it. Is there a number on that one? Thanks so much for thinking of this!
