Test powerup of my Zenith 1951 TV console

I think you should continue on with your restoration of that Porthole TV.
Restored and working Portholes are a treasure - they are so unique.

If your Flyback is indeed bad, perhaps someone here has a cross reference of your
S-17233 Zenith part number to a Stancore, Merit, Chicago, etc. When I restored
my 1950 Zenith porthole someone gave me a reference to a generic Flyback that
I remounted on top of the Chassis rather than below.

Thanks for your advice CW. I do indeed plan to continue with the restoration. I plan to pull the chassis out from the cabinet sometime in the future when I have bench space and time to work on it. Gary
