Those Zenith CRT's can check GOOD on a CRT tester; but, can still be faulty. I was getting Zenith TV's with that tube by the truckload from the local Zenith dealer when they'd junk them for having a bad CRT. From what I remember, that was the only tube that would physically fit in the cabinet and look right. On one or two sets, I was able to rig up a tube that would electrically work; but, the physical mounting was off. On other TV's, I installed a mid-to-late '80's version of that tube (the ones from the '80's were a little better).
