another side note on these 13" Chromacolors.....
When we sold them new, we would brag to the customer that Zenith did NOT skimp on quality just because it was a 13". It basically has the same chassis as a 25".
On the downside, these were EXPENSIVE new, and not alot were sold.
On all of the Chromacolor series sets of that era, the "bones" of the sets were the same, what drove up price, was the tuner,screen size,remote option, and in the consoles..cabinet finish.
IIRC tho.. in EARLY Chromacolors 2's, these were the only inline tubes. I don't think they ever made a Delta gun tube for the 13" Chromacolor 2's.
Zenith went total inline when the System 3's came out. Other than the 13" set, you will only see an inline tube on that chassis in a 19" set in the final year of Chromacolor 2 production. This style of 13" was continued into the System 3 series.
