1997 Zenith Z27X76R CRT longevity?

Well, this Zenith Z27X76R seems to fit this space, since it's a 1997 model. It was given to me yesterday by my brother after he cleaned out a vacant apartment where he is maintenance supervisor, and he says "it works". Can't get it out of the car yet due to heavy rain this morning. Would this one's CRT fall into Zenith's "bad period"? I already put a flashlight to the back and saw the Zenith decal on the CRT. I sort of like the style of these vertical consoles where a DVD or VCR can be tucked away on the shelf underneath the screen. RCA and Mitsubishi also marketed these. Unsure of late 90s quality on any of these brands, but I think this has a handsome design and would be great for watching vintage movies & TV shows on. I put this set up in a FB group and was told if it has an 1101 code on the CRT it is one of the bad Rauland tubes made after the LG merger. I won't know that til I get it out of the Vibe and into the garage. But if it's a baddie, what CRTs would be electrically compatible with this set? I believe Radiotvnut once said that Zenith later used RCA & Philips CRTs in the late 90s because of the bad CRT runs. I also have a 1999 Philips 27" set from the recycle storage as well, plain grey cabinet. If that one has a good CRT maybe I could do a swap?
