This has been my lucky week! I picked up another Zenith roundie from a guy in LA. It's a 50 Washington 24G26 (G3275RZ) . It has a 16EP4 CRT. When I first looked at the set I was sure the CRT was gone. It had a brightner on it. I tested it and the meter strated to climb. It didn't stop until it reached the highest good level I have ever seen on a used CRT. Almost 100% I couldn't believe my eyes. I double checked everything and sure enough the setting were correct. When I got it home I was able to rotate the CRT a bit and expose a lable that was under the support. The CRT is a rebuilt which explains why there were no identifying marks on the connector or the neck. I tested it again and it's definately as good as new. I think what happened from what the owner said is that the repairman didn't know what he was doing and possibly replaced the CRT then reattached the brightner from the previous weak tube thinking it was part of the set.
