There's a slight chance that your tube was made by someone else besides Zenith. I seem to remember seeing a couple Zenith's from this period that used the bonded yoke style CRT's like what Thomson/RCA used. Some of the last Zenith CRT sets used Philips CRT's. Or, maybe Zenith "screwed up" and actually made a good tube. It happened once in a blue moon.
