I have a similar Zenith sitting upstairs. It developed an intermittent and I'm not sure if I'll ever get it going again. When it worked it was outstanding, with easily the brightest picture I've seen.

As for used sets...Wal*Mart sure killed that market, didn't it? Around '90-92 I was still seeing tube chassis color sets selling for around $45. When my sister started college I found her an early 80s knob-tuned 19" RCA for $85, which I thought was a great deal. I was paying $15-25 a piece for dead color consoles from the 70s/early 80s. Too many of them never worked again (since I didn't know what I was doing) but occasionally I got a winner. The best was a mid-80s RCA that I sold for $125.
