Your set wouldn't happen to be one of the mid-'90s Sentry 2 table models, would it? I have one I got as a birthday present in 1995. It still works as well as the day I got it and even has the original CRT, although for the last 13 years it's been in storage in my bedroom.

The last time I tried my Sentry 2 table set, it was still going strong, with every bit as good a picture as when the set was new. Say what you will about those mid-'90s Zeniths with their troublesome CRTs, but mine seems to have gotten past all those problems....why, I'll probably never know; maybe I'd better not even try to figure it out, and just be thankful the set has gone this long with no problems. Maybe I was lucky and just happened to get a set with a good tube.
