Vintage zenith Console chassis on test jig

[Tvbob]

I still run a few service call for my older customers. this zenith console TV went out during a thunder storm (power supply diodes and a switch mode ic) Might be the last time I use this test jig... thought i would share how we used to do it "back in the day"

i could imagine that getting zapped by a flyback would feel like getting zapped by a backlight inverter but worse.

I've been zapped by enough of them to tell you that a CFL inverter is nothing in comparison. When I saw 'vintage zenith' chassis, I was thinking the old 'tilt-back' chassis with the big HV tripler....now those bad boys would let you know who's boss!! ...especially when one was cracked, and you didn't know it....and would arc to your arm when you reached around it
