I think RCA's in general are 6GH8 killers. lol,

That 20 is a real nice looking set too! Seeing one of those dont come by too often. It's amazing how close the control cover and layout resemble my CTC-17.
Good lookin set you gents have! That Zenith looks like it turned out great!

There was a factory-issued field mod to change two half-watt resistors in the sync separator to improve weak vert.hold (forget exact their values). The CTC-19/20 and their descendants sure ate up 6GH8s.
