Nope. I tend to have lousy luck with ANY tube color set, so if it doesn't show some signs of life after testing tubes and a slow power up, I don't plan on busting my onions to get it going. We'll see what she do

Generally Zenith stuff comes back. There is one capacitor that will for sure be dead in the set. it's like 50uf 25V or something very unusual like that in the Vertical Section. It lives under the chassis, if you're facing the back of the TV, its to the far right of the chassis, with the TV facing down, going in though the Service Saver door, in the bottom corner. You have to hoist the chassis up a little to even get at it.

Zenith seems to use really good, reliable parts.
