I suspect romshark is just using it to get some experience, in which case killing a Zenith before killing something else might not be a bad idea :o
Mike A:
Sorry, but I think this whole thread is unproductive. Jumping into CRT repair so you can play your console games is a giant waste of time.
Unless he plans on repairing them with regularity, he is way better off with a TV that works.

Yeah, it probably is at the point to give up trying to repair this Zenith. I was just hoping to fix it easily enough and keep it going for longer. Plus, it fit perfectly in my entertainment center. I'll see if I can find an equivalent size with AV in. Maybe even S-Video.
It's still usable, just has an annoying brightness problem on solid bright backgrounds. I'm going to try to get a replacement before everyone throws their CRTs away, but I can manage with this one till then.

Can't argue with that. I think the whole capacitor / ESR meter will help me fix other electronics. In particular, I have a Neo-Geo board with sound issues (yes, the speakers are hooked up correctly. Not using the JAMMA standard).
