I do not know how long the set was on the lawn. It must have gone thru a rain storm or two. It is testimony to Zenith chassis plating as there is virtually no rust. And the cabinet survived without delaminating.

I have seen a number of sets like which always seem to get necked. This set is a real survivor.

I removed the chassis to clean and examine. And the tube was tested as depicted. The tube took about half an hour to wake up and the three guns are giving good emission.
