Zenith did make good on piles of them for up to 5 yrs. But if you had
the cheapest 19" you got a free jug but for a short time. Labor was
often waved by the SELLING dealer. Big box sets were billed out at list,
Mom & pops were best as always. Low end sets NEVER got the 5 yr
extension on the CRT warranty. ( norm was 2 yrs CRT, no labor after 90 days ).

Now that you mention it, I did see a lot more of the BOTL sets with bad jugs than the higher end stuff.
