Considering these are zenith's economy set at the time, the picture was fenominal. Lots of TV shops used to hate me calling asking for tubes parts etc. when I was a kid when I would mess around with these. There was only one shop and its gone now "Kens TV" in Lombard. I specifically remember him telling me how many of these 4 tubers he sold and how great they were. He said people would walk in the shop and see one going and it was sold right now, nothing could compete "and to this day, you can't beat the picture on one of those" he said. I agree.
I imagine these outsold much of the competition at the time hence why I used to find so many of them. Great sets they are. Ironically, I was just telling mark the other day that if I let go any of my parts 4 tube hybrid sets, I'll need something right away. Sure enough, it almost happened. I've got one of these in complete junk condition but working. It'll be the new parts set to get this one going. I guess I better keep my 4 tuber parts sets, you never know what you need. I've been working on so many RCA sets lately, it'll be nice to be "back home" working on a Zenith again.
