help. shrunken gaskets???
 

Th paper gaskets in my zenith... (hard to find) rebuild kit have shrunk a bit. I don't want to tear them. Anyone have a way to get them back to their original size??

I would guess they have dehydrated over time. If so, you may be able to restore them by storing in a humid environment for some time.
Like a cigar humidor, or something similar that will allow the gaskets to lay flat in a moist area.
Just a guess, YMMV, obviously...;]
