A real toilet IMHO. Zenith ran the 4 tube hybrid til F-line
1975 as a leader 19". They also had a 14" 1/2 tube
chassis that may have sold in G-line but dont remember.
Most ended in 74-76, people didnt want tubes anymore.

The 4 tube Zenith chassis was one heck of a good set. In the early 1990's, I threw out several of them (many of which still worked) because I could no longer sell a tube type TV. I wish I had one now
