Zenith Roundie from DC 1st pictures

[JCFitz]

These are the first pictures I have posted of the Zenith Roundie from DC I picked up a few weeks ago. It is now the Zenith Roundie from Willards,MD model 5030 chassis 29JC20. Also shown is the HV cage with the HV cup from Moyers and the HV rectifier cap courtesy Bryan Gadow.(Thanks Bryan)

This is the picture with the only thing having been done to it being an open 4 section capacitor80uf475v-80uf475v-4uf450v-4uf-450 v temporarily jumped with 4 individual capacitors to be stuffed in the original although the 2 100uf 500v caps I found may be the only ones that will fit in the original and the 4.7 ufs @450v may have to go underneath the chassis.

All the filters will get restuffed and the black beauty caps replaced.The other filters are working but get quite warm. One black beauty is already causing a problem as after about 15 minutes or so the picture goes into an uncontrollable loss of vertical sync. A little shot of freeze spray on the particular cap restores sync.


Last but not least in adition to restoring the cabinet the crt will have too come out to clean the oily deposits from the rubber seal from inside the face mask.I kinda dread that particular step.
