Zenith 19L25 Chassis Restoration - Advice?

[RitchieMars]

Well, I had to do some serious work to get it installed, but it's finally in. I left out the striped wire and went with the green and red. It was a pain to install, mainly because the bracket around the AOT had to be swapped with the other in order to fit properly and even then, the holes in the bracket had to be drilled out a bit in order for the screw holes to line up. It's because the bracket was forced into being a bit wider than before, fitting around a transformer that is literally less than a millimeter larger in width.

I put everything back together and fixed my pilot light while I was at it. Someone had a #47 in there but the bulb was too long to line up with the "window" it had to shine through in order to project the number. I swapped it for a #44 and it now works great!

As for the sound...

It works but it's VERY buzzy. All of the cable channels come through with a lot of loud buzz and distortion that overpowers everything. The buzz gets louder when the picture gets brighter. The VCR fairs a little better, but the buzz is still obnoxious. Plenty of volume... the tone control works nicely... but the noise is horrible. I tried adjusting the "buzz control" on the back and it only made it louder.

UPDATE:

I can get the buzz to go away with the VCR playing by turning the screen register up and tweaking the fine tuning and buzz control. This only works with the VCR, though. The cable channels still sound distorted beyond belief. I guess it's something about the raw cable signal. I don't have a converter box, just the VCR. I'd try the DVD but the only DVD player I have uses the red, white, and yellow connectors. This tv came with a coaxial adapter so I've been using anything that plugs in that way.
