On all the Zeniths I have seen the chassis always outlasted the picture tube. Found a 1968 zenith color set that had a rebuilt CRT in it that was totally weak...put in a new CRT and it works great.
Never seen a flyback failure in a Zenith yet. The RCA flyback failure in the console models appears to be their weakest point. All of the early 60's sets appear though to be designed with fairly high quality. On Zeniths the quality stayed high through the 60's whereas the other brands seemed to cheap out.

Shoot, even the early Solid-State Zeniths are built like the tube sets... Weigh damn near as much!
If Doug is reading, I think you're loosing out by only collecting the tube models! Nothing like having a daily-watcher old-school looking Chromacolor II and blowing a non-TV person's mind with the razor-shap pic and great color.
