The chip demods may not have been as easy to adjust, but those sets often had a SS IF system that made up for those chips not being perfect (most I've seen have been fairly good). Good color is very important, but if the image is not suitably sharp it don't matter how good the color is...
If you find a Zenith set with a tube chroma demod AND SS IF. It will look better than an RCA when set up right.
