There was an electrolytic capacitor open and just passing your hand around near the IF would change the bars.

I do remember that if the IF cable was unplugged the bars were easier to find with the O-scope.

It's terrible to get Old, nothing works like it did when you were younger.

Yes, getting old. It sucks BUT you can say almost anything & not get
into a gunfight, they think you just a crazy old fart

Interesting comment on jail bars, seems almost imposable with all the steel in a Zenith your hand near the IF strip would do that. I will dig
up the old thread & pass it along if he isnt reading this. I know its
not a one time thing, while helping on it I called our old road man.
He had one after he did some other work but the customer didnt
want to go further. Like to know myself as I do want to get a
flat chassis myself someday & knowing my luck it will have jail bars.
