Voltages were way off on Jungle I.C. that also sent RBG to the Crt board. I swapped the whole chassis with a new one, including the CRT board. Results : Same problem. So I checked the CRT. CRT checker says CRT is good, but a rejuvenation helped. The tube must be bad. Cranking up the screen to max. and making some adjustments, barely makes the set acceptable. Careful examination of the picture with white lettering on it reveals "blooming". Still, the voltages read way off on the drive I.C. Probably wrong voltages in Zenith manual. However, I have seen these exact symptoms with bad drive I.C., a bad CRT socket, or other CRT BOARD problems. And of couse, " A bad CRT ".
