The fact that the tube in your neighbor's TV makes any kind of picture at all seems amazing to me if the set is more than a couple of years old. Given the short lifespan of most Zenith CRTs these days, I'd guess the tube is going to go West any day now.

That set is probably 9 years old now, and sees use about 8-10 hours a day, 7days a week! I did see another bad picture lately. That was on a late 90s (or newer) GE 20". It looked like the GE color sets of my youth! Muddy, washed out, blurry. I suspect some of that had to do with misadjusted controls.
