Nope. I sold Channel Master CRTs in the 80s, at Cain Electronics here in Norfolk. The best Channel Master CRT was the "OptiChrome" Lifetime Guarantee CRT. I have a buddy with a CM LT 25EGP22 (CM's 23EGP22 replacement) in the original carton - it checks like a brand new one to this day.

Channel Master sold out to Video Display, and quit the Lifetime CRT business in 1987, several years before giving up the CRT business. Roundies were never offered in the OptiChrome. Only 23V/25V, and a few 19V (no bonded yokes) were offered. Opti-luxe was the 2 year, the only other CRT they offered. I dunno the details for those holding LT CRTs.

I still have a padded CM Optichrome LT cabinet protector from 1979, but the foam padding has degraded and is sticky.
