I realized now that I forgot about what I had done years ago to the boost circuit. I replaced the boost rectifier, tested the resistor, but never changed the ceramic capacitor as I couldn't find the correct replacement. Zenith uses a 600pf 2kV and I couldn't find any NOS and for new all I could find were 560pf or 680pf. The same for the HOT. I replaced the damper diode, but not the capacitor for the same reason.

I know Zenith chose that value for a reason, but I don't know how important that exact value is to the circuit. It's the last thing I can think of that might be causing the jailbars.
