Like every shop of the era, I had a lot of customers with one of these big metal Zeniths. I had one customer, the long deceased Mr. Allen, who I don't think I ever saw sober.
He dropped off one of these sets at my shop for service. It had a dull & soft picture tube and he authorized its replacement. About $75.00 parts & labor if I remember correctly.
He picked it up when I was out on service calls. He paid my wife, walked out the door and fumbled the Zenith. Of course, the big CRT shattered.
He left it with instructions to put another picture tube in it.
He took it like a man!
