    Thank you! So wonderful to finally know the complete story of Zenith, still going strong in 1980. However they chose not to embrace printed circuit board technology, instead advertising the "handcrafted quality" of obsolete point-to-point wiring in use since the beginning of radio. Already in 1975 we were working 7 days a week in Motorola's Quasar television factory in Franklin Park, Chicago, installing the Japanese assembly lines coming over in container ships to enable high-volume production of televisions not only on a single PCB, but also featuring a single, large integrated circuit instead of many individual components. Zenith was top quality, my father bought one in 1963 and it ran nonstop for more than 20 years, requiring no more than an occasional shot of "tuner cleaner" spray. This is a testament to the superb quality of vacuum tubes and components of the day. When it was finally time to say goodbye to the old black-and-white Zenith, it still worked perfectly.
