The Zenith/LG tube debacle--ON PURPOSE?

[rca2000]

I KNEW...I thought they were using phillips tubes... Sometimes IIRC they did NOT have the NAP label though..

Now..I HAVE seen a FEW bad NAP or Thomson tubes...but ONLY a FEW.. INCLUDING a VERY few bad BRAND new ones. A bad NEW tube means it is not good....and you should NEVER try to hit one--as it will NEVER be any good...

But all in all..Phillips tubes were not bad. Same with Thomson tubes.. NONE were quite to the quality of the Zenith delta CC tubes or round Zenith color tubes...but then was there ANY consumer-type CRT made....EVER...that WAS?
