Zenith Roundie from DC 1st pictures

[Tubejunke]

I must have gotten lucky on at least one thing with my Zenith. It has the 25LC30 chassis and uses .5A solid state diodes instead of a tube for rectification. It's good to see an extended ZENITH thread! I wish I had time to get somewhere with my Zenith! I want to find out what is making the horizontal output plate glow red and smoke from underneath. I'm sure that its a capacitor or THREE, as my set was dormant for at least 10 years. I took off the nice access cover on the bottom and at a glance could see two large (probably 1 watt) resistors sitting side by side that have heat bumps all over them where they have been cooking. I didn't see anything charred as I would expect after seeing smoke more than once.
