Should be an easy answer for the monitor kings..

What is the "P" number on your neckboard ?

(like P447, P448, P456, etc)

I could not see any board # on it. It's definitely not the P456 because that's where I'm grabbing the 2SC2068 transistors from. I'm guessing that it's either P447 or P448. The main chassis board # is 538

I answered this in your PM, but you can order them new from Mouser, or check this list of NTE distributors in NY to see if any close you have them in stock...

the 2sc2068 doesn't have the same pinout as the tz1034 does - or at least according to the nte equivalents datasheets.
Good news is the nte equiv for the 1034 is a nte171

I just verified this as well. I must have missed your post, and while digging through my parts and whatnot I came to the same conclusion.

TZ1034 - NTE171 (pinout E B C)
2SC2068 - NTE376 (pinout B C E)
KTC3229 - NTE376

It would seem that the "unmarked" neckboards are Zenith made boards....meaning there is no "P###" on them. These are the same neckboards used on the K7000A's.
Specification wise the transistors are pretty much the same, but the pinout is wrong compared to any other transistor the regular K7000's used. (yay, leave it up to Zenith again to spoil the fun)

So, turn the 2068 around and bend the B and C pins around each other to swap their positions. Easy...

That crossed my mind, but then I thought to myself "maybe we shouldn't go there just yet".

The chassis is now working great after installing an original TZ1034 transistor that Kevin Mullins provided. Thanks a bunch for your help...much appreciated.
