Sorry to hear this.

Never was a fan of Zenith products.

This is coming from a friend of a Zenith dealer and repair shop.

"The rats nest goes in before the name goes on". LOL....

I wonder how many sets were destroyed before they got a good take.

Nine out of ten times Zeniths will pass a drop test. Others fail.
Best example was a drunk tech the next town over. He pulled
a CC2 chassis for jig work. He put his caddy in his truck but
left the chassis behind it & backed over it. He re installed it &
left the lady a bill for $100 !
We got the job next. Took the chassis in & used a hammer to
put it in order. Fixed a few minor PCB cracks & the original
problem & was as good as new.
There is NO question hand wiring was the ultimate in ruggedness !

BTW I named him "Bobby the Butcher" & it caught on. Even the
lesser techs hated him. His work would make you puke

Everyone has their favorites and while Zenith isn't exactly my all time favorite , I'd step over 5 RCAs to get to one Zenith .
