I understand, that set was the lowest priced set in the Zenith line. Excellent value for the money.  |
With the outstanding build quality, it's surprizing it was lowest priced.
You're right, the protector cup did seem to protrude a lot.
Actually I had the back off once when first got it, to clean/lube controls, tube test etc. But the back never came off again.
Never saw a 3DG4 in a TV set before or since.
