Very good set, still built in the Ft Wayne Indiana plant on Bueter road- I had one with the "touch-tune" system, the first keypad-controlled tuner. Was my main set for 17 years
after I replaced the CRT. Very true RAdioTV nut , it was not quite a Zenith in the luminance/color department, but convergence and purity were spot-on.
I saw only a few issues with these sets when I carried MAG's module caddies:- cold solder joints, dirty module connectors and the "critical cap" which limits collector-emitter pulse amplitude across the horiz out transisitor, controlling HV. The same issues plagued the T809 and T815 chassis later on, even more so. I can still remember the module numbers, talk about wasted memory space....
