Another TV graveyard found.

I found this picture on the ebay site. This is the early kind of the four screen Nordmende tv. There is another model similar but with inline 20 ax tube and full remote control and with tre 3 squarer b/w screens. I saw one of these in a shop in early 80s and I must admit it impressed me for being so huge. It also featured an infrared earphone, on off timer with lcd clock on the ultrasonic remote control. It was available in yellow,light green,white and grey. Another fancy Nde model was the one mounted on a pedestal incorporating a woofer and having the tweeter and midrange speakers mounted on two doors at sides of the screen. These doors could be turned so to close the screen. I think a friend of mine still has one of these. Do european tvs sold in your country have the scart (also named peritel) socket to connect av devices? Do you also have american brands (such zenith) in Australia?

I agree with the statement about Zenith tubes being bad from '93 to '97 with one exception: I started seeing a lot of failures around 1990. Lots of heater to cathode shorts.
I had one customer with a late 80s 27 inch console that I replaced the CRT in 3 times. (extended warranty paid for it) The last one was installed in about 1995, and the set got tossed about 3 or 4 years after that. It took almost a year to get Zenith to pay me for doing the work.
