Just my .02; but, these sets were a nightmare to work on. The modules are packed in there and are a PITA to service on the component level. The replacement modules were expensive years ago and are probably not available now. That CRT is not Zenith's worst; but, it's not the best, either. Zenith CRT's didn't get really bad until the early '90's; but, I've seen several of these that were toast. IMHO, the asking price of this set is too high. I'm doing good to give away a console TV of any type.

A friend of mine has the 31" version of this set that he gave around $1600 for. It was repaired a few times by the dealer when it was fairly new and I repaired it a couple of times. The last time I saw it; the CRT was going south and the vertical deflection circuit was crapping out. He now just uses it for a stand to sit his modern 25" RCA on.
