Do you/did you usually tend to stick to one brand for your main sets?

There is an RCA console that is fairly modern that is good...probably among the last consoles they made. Think it is a 93 model. Don't remember the chassis number, I think it preceded the CTC-177. Magnavox late model consoles are pretty good too, but I think the RCA's have slightly better performance.

The Zenith consoles, from that time period are the worst...bad CRT's. My grandma got one in around 93 after their CTC-31 finally quit (I was not in the area so could not help repair). The Zenith CRT went out and I think they got it repaired under warranty, but they did not get the convergence right! I've got one of those Zeniths, think I will try converting to an RCA crt from a non-functional CTC-177 (may have to improvise a mounting system).
