The rant and rave about the Zenith round color is probably because the shop he took it to did not do a proper job but still charged a lot. This guy must not have seen many other round TVs, for as we know they can provide very good performance.
He was probably just the victim of a bad service shop. A competent shop would have really gotten the problem fixed and made the repair last.
The Zeniths are the best made sets of this time period. Every one I have got has come on and produced a picture and sound when I tried it for the first time. Most of the repairs were for fairly simple stuff like arcing HV filament leads, degaussing thermistor, or the plate lead came loose off the HO tube. I have one that I just replaced the CRT on (22" rectangular, though) and this was its 3rd CRT! They watched the rebuilt one that was in it till they could see it no more. No chassis repairs needed except to HO plate lead connection.
