1987 Zenith System 3 SD2767H

When I first got this the picture quality looked real bad, but as time went on and I broke it in a bit the picture drastically improved to where I'm not very impressed with it.

I cleaned it up using lots of blow off duster and surface cleaner so it is obviously not prefect but I bet it helped.

If I wanted to take a closer look and touch on the solder joints should I be real concerned about getting an electric shock from the television. I know the process of De energizing the CRT is pretty strait forward, but it still concerns me because if you mess one small thing up you can be killed.

This is my first ever pre 90s TV so just wondering, is it common for these televisions to need to take about 60 seconds to turn on of they have been unplugged for a while?

Is it common for you guys to get a wired red glare with section colors on the television?

At first I thought it was the television itself causing it but I then realized that when it is a bright day and the sun s shining on it the red glare will be visible. Close the shades or watch tv at night and there is no glare.

Is there any specific adjustments in the innards of the TV that you guys recommend to get the best performance ( like a tuner alignment or adjusting the bias), but for a old television?
