Zenith flat chassis jail bars

Dare I ask:

On the photos, Zenith ran the HV from the flyback, to the anode, then a lead back.... why?

The second lead goes to the focus divider - a resistor pack that divides up the HV for focus voltage for the CRT. The "9894/9895" divider IIRC - we used either the 63-9894 or 63-9895 dividers in Zeniths. Some were the "rocket ship" white-cylinder originals or the beige plastic "matchbox with leads" style. Same purpose/function. later, they incorporated the focus divider in the tripler, and later the IHVTs in some sets.

Cheers,
