Never saw an instance of that either. Maybe it was a good thing that i got
out of the TV repair business as a teen.
The company that made the so called "Safety
capacitor" filed bankruptcy, leaving a number of manufacturers
scrambling to find someone to make a replacement part, and take
responsibility for any damage if their design failed. The "Safety
capacitors went from three leads to four, to improve the chances that
the "Safety capacitor" would open if there was a failure in the
horizontal deflection circuit.
I vaguely remember hearing about that.

Live and learn.


It nearly put Zenith out of business.

Zenith is in the TV business?

It was, at the time that the safety capacitor problem cropped up. It
was a US corporation, making most of its electronics in the US, as well.
That was 25 or 30 years ago on the "E" and "F" series of color TV
chassis.
