My sister got one of those hybrid Zeniths for Christmas in '74 or ’75. She brought it back from college Christmas of '83 broken. I was a freshman in high school at the time, and had started tearing apart TVs. But this was the first set I fixed. My sister was disappointed, as she had been hoping for a new color set. As I recall it was the video output transistor, which was socketed. I substituted a part from Radio Shack. It worked for a good ten years after that, and then the video failed again. I guess the part wasn't quite a good sub. I'm not sure what happened to the set after that. Last I saw it was in a closet at my parents. I think my mom may was planning on giving it to charity, but who knows it might still be there. I know for sure it wasn’t instant on.
