to crack & high Q plastic used so the cabinet will survive. Being a Zenith
the transistors were plug in. That is the soft spot, on landing they
could pop out of the socket. Yes I am a Zenith apologist but I do
believe the ad to be 95% true....

As I do. The RCA's PC Board would break from that impact. Put the transistors back in socket, the set would work, after all it's a Zenith. The Quality Goes In Before The Cat Goes On!
