RCA and Zenith tubes both have cataracts, they just look different. I repaired a zenith style cataract by slicing the safety glass off with a guitar string, cleaning off all the old PVA, and then reattaching the glass. Not a fun job, but anyone with patience and good personal protective equipment can do it.

If you want a perfect looking 60s set, short of finding a more recently made NOS picture tube, I think cataract repair is unavoidable.
