Last Chance for New Console TV?

[radiotvnut]

I was recently given a '00 or '01 (can't remember) 25" Zenith console that was hit by lightning. Fortunately, all it did was blow the solder in fuse. This TV actually had a Philips tube and produced a decent picture for a late model Zenith. The chassis was just a cheap made cookie cutter PC board. I wound up letting a friend have it. That might not have been a good idea, as I know it will be right back over here when it goes up in smoke!

Back when the Zenith dealer was in business, I was given loads and loads and loads of those horrid '90's sets with the bad CRT's. Sometimes, I was lucky enough to find a tube from an older set or a more recent tube from a set with a burnt up chassis. I don't miss those sets one bit and am very happy that most of them are now in the dump!
