Looking back, probably the most durable set, both in terms of build quality and longevity, was a Zenith. Don't remember the model or chassis number, but it was an early-60s VHF-only, metal cabinet table model 19 inch. Power tranny with 3DG4 rectifier, 90 degree CRT with BIG NECK (as opposed to the more common 110 degree, small neck). Used it for 5 years and gave it to a widow lady who used it with a UHF converter for many more years till she passed away. The set never needed service or had the back off.
