I have a Zenith 27" stereo television that was purchased back in 1993. The problem that I am having is the picture starts to jump up and down once it has been on for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes it slowly begins to start jumping faster and faster to the point to were it appears to be vibrating and the picture becomes blurry.
What do you think this is. Do you think that the vertical hold is out of sync? :confused:

Here is the model # SS6573BG
Here is the serial # 29124110262

Please help

mattd32208, Yes, the vertical sync is slightly off which has the picture bouncing. you probably have leaky electrolytic capacitors around the vertical I.C. which is affecting the vertical sync pulses coming from the vertical/horizontal processor I.C.. Since I don't know what chassis you have and my tech notes for zenith are based on there chassises, right now this is just a guess.

mattd32208, You will need to remove the back cover to see if you have one main module or two separate modules side by side. Their should be a diagram inside the cabinet or on the inside of the cover which gives the module name and part number. The part number starts out with 9-xxxx and then three or four numbers after the dash. Post back with this imformation.
