Get rid of the R35, while you're at it. It's a common failure item and not needed. 1500 ohm, 1 watt.

Isn't that suppose to act as a current limiter in the event something goes terribly wrong?

Zenith engineering recommended eliminating it. It was the subject of a thread, quite a while ago.

Robert Goodman also says to get it out of there.(Zenith Color TV Service Manual,Vol I,Tab Books) Same book Bandersen showed us earlier. Robert mentions a couple different situations, which at first impression leads one to believe he's talking about two different resistors, however there only seems to be that one 1.5K associated with the HV?
