The GS-built "Zeniths", granted, are not good sets at all, from what I've read about them in message boards (sci.electronics.repair for one), and, like yourself, I wouldn't buy another one. However, I have a 1995 Zenith Sentry 2 table model 19" set in my bedroom that works almost as well today as it did when it was new. That was my main set the first four years I had it; it worked well, never a bit of trouble with the chassis or CRT, and none today. I don't use that TV much anymore, as I bought a new RCA XL-100 just about five years ago, but I keep the Zenith as a backup. Works well enough on cable that it will probably be my main watcher again when my RCA set eventually goes bad and either can no longer be repaired, or the repairs would cost more than a new set. However, the RCA still makes an excellent picture on cable here, through a cable box and with the cable connected directly to the set, so my Zenith might be sitting in the bedroom for quite a while.
