which chassis was the best ?

[zeno]

Who built the best SOLID STATE color chassis ?

Rules:
Must be US or Canadian made. ( we will do Jap sets later)
Can have a tube for HV rectifire but otherwise solid state.
Any screen size.
Any age.
If you dont remember the chassis # describe it.

Rate one as best but also comment on the best from other makers.
Also indicate if you are/were a pro or hobbyist or both.
Lots of commentary encouraged
Please dont forget the little guys like Philco, Warwick, W-G etc.

From an old pro & arm chair hobbist.

1) The Zenith flat chassis.
You will have to pry the 22-5001 caps out of my cold dead hands.
Physicaly the ultimate in quality & dont fall short on anything else.
In a category by itself.

Honorable mentions:
Admiral M30 ? chassis.
Super clean modular chassis, underrated. Put in a Zenith jug & you got an awesome pix. Just when Admiral started making great sets again
they were put down

Magnavox C-1 chassis.
The two board chassis, early 80's.
A pleasure to behold both inside & the pix. Even the cheap models
looked as good as any. NEVER junked one.......
