Jon,

Is that the episode when Robin Williams pretends to be Lawrence Welk? Just kidding. That picture is fabulous. Great convergence, good crt emission, good whites. That would be hard to do on an aged 15GP22 or 21AXP22, 21CYP22 because of the inefficient red phosphors.

Here's a shot of my Zenith in operation. I isn't a very good photo though, except proof that the set works.

One note about Zenith compared to the other guys. I've always considered (through comparitive observation) Zenith quality to be a step or two above the competition in the quality of their stuff. Here is another example. The brass tips on the screw-in legs on my Zenith TV are real brass. I was able to polish them to a like-new luster. The tips on similar legs on my RCA sets are plated steel with lacquer or plastic protective overcoat. The overcoat has degraded and been scraped off over the decades and the plating has deteriorated to the beginnings of rust. I cannot polish thes RCA leg tips. They will have to be replaced to make them shine like the Zenith's.
