I vote for tube Zenith. The one I use as my Archie Watcher only needed cleaned, a convergence coil, a control repaired and adjustments. I don't think replaced a single tube. I do, however, think a lytic in the vertical is about to go south. Very easy restoration. With any luck, my space command will go just as smoothly (12A12C52).
I think the pictures on Zenith color appeared slightly darker than RCA. I nod toward Zenith because of the hardwiring. The PC boards on my CTC-16 gave me hell.
I'm only judging by my personal experience. I've never met a GE that I liked (my 810 may change that).
I think Philco made some good stuff (I don't have a Predicta). One is on the bench now and a portable will follow. These have the forerunners to chips. I'll keep you posted.
