I had a parts sheet for this particular set along. It shows in the parts list A63AGD01X. Can anyone tell me did Zenith also use the Phillips CRT in these late 90s-early 2000s sets or does this show that the CRT has been replaced in this Set? Also, how good of quality and lifespan did these two particular CRTs have? Thanks.
I had the 27 Inch Console Set Version of this particular Model, but unfortunately it literally fell apart when moving the set out.

Around that time-frame, Zenith made rotten CRT's and it was right around the time L/G aquired Zenith and closed down the CRT plant. I have a Zenith set from that era, that has an EIA312 CRT which is Sylvania/Philips.
The set you have is a strange entry-level model. It seemed strange to see a set that new to have a rounded corner CRT.
