Could be the tube! This is what usually fails. Icx3431 Str53041 , C3432 100/25, Q3431 121-1264 . Check the resistors in that same circuit also... Put a 1 or 1.5 amp fuse in it for testing...if the CRT shorts , it will blow the fuse before it smokes your STR53041 Tap on the neck of the tube to see if she'll act up.

I think it's the tube, but don't work on many Zenith's. I heard the CRT's are bad in Zenith's. Any thoughts.
