Actually Zenith was replacing tubes, and if the PCB got popped they replaced
it to! While working for one of my competitors, Zenith was paying $100
labor to change the crt, and they provided the crt and pcb. This for sets
4-6 years old. That is exactly how they got sooo deep in debt that Goldstar
bought them.
