I used to do some TV maintenance but am rusty.  My ten year old 
Zenith takes about 20 seconds to come on after the volume 
control switch is pulled when it's cold (start-up is fairly 
normal when it has been run in the last few minutes).  This not 
just the video that is slow.  Even the dial light, indicating the 
channel, takes a while to come on... so I don't think it's the 
picture tube heater.  More likely some component in the low 
voltage power supply.  Perhaps the low voltage rectifier or the 
main electrolytic capacitor?
Picture is still excellent.  I replaces the volume control power 
switch (which was intermittent) about a year ago.  Now it always 
comes on; it's just slow!  Appreciate any ideas from the techs 
here abouts.                                    Bill Hurn
