My Zenith Sentry 2 table set from 1995 (the newest CRT TV I still own) has an inline CRT, as does my RCA CTC185 which is four years newer. The two 13" color portables I owned before the Sentry 2 were also made by Zenith, but had delta-gun tubes, as did my 1964 Silvertone roundie. Those early round CRTs must have been heavy as lead since my Silvertone set weighed the proverbial ton, although the TV itself had a metal chassis, a power transformer and was housed in a metal cabinet. I remember moving it to my upstairs bedroom after my dad and I moved to a three-story house in 1972. It took two of my cousins, IIRC, to carry that set up two flights of stairs; the TV must have weighed 50 pounds or more if it weighed an ounce.
