Re: "bug eye" Zenith TVs
Marlin,
I can't say for sure, but I think your TV repairman friend referred to these sets as "bug eye" Zeniths because of the positions of the volume control and channel selector (both with huge knobs reminiscent of--yup, you guessed it--bug eyes) on either side of the CRT, so the term fits to a T. A very unique design not seen since the '50s.
