Is this Zenith worth the effort?

For $50 and a little adjusting, you did fine. And one of the best ever USA TV sets at their best. Kent T approved!!!

Thank you, after 2 years and another tuner module for parts on ePay, I regret nothing! I just wish more of these "last gasp" delta gun sets would show up around here!

Looks good!

I'm interested to see how the first 13 inch inline CRT looked in 1975. I know my 1978 chromacolor ii is insanely bright.

That 23v deltagun CRT must have been the last bastion of those ever made, meaning black matrix and all the advancements in that period put into the CRT. By this time, inline CRTs were well under way, and around this time, Sony was ready to roll out their 25 inch Trinitron, which I believe wasn't til 1981 if im not mistaken, so the inlines were being kicked out in full fashion. I find it fascinating, that Zenith designed this chassis with all the latest advancements, to push the last remaining 23v style CRTs out. Especially in 1979, when everything went to the 25v style years back.
