I had a Zenith tv growing up. I beat the hell out of that thing. It was indestructible. I was always hooking and unhooking my game systems to it and I’m told often you would hear loud crashes as it went slamming into the ground but it never broke. Eventually we changed over to flat screens and we got rid of the tv, and I’m not sure what happens to that tv. Someone might still be using it today. I wonder if the downfall of Zenith is that they made their products too well.
- ridgered4 4y agoI had a Zenith from the 1980s that I eventually had to just throw out as I didn't really have space for it and the 20" size had been obsolete for some tie. The thing wouldn't die. It actually had a better picture than some later TVs I'd owned before I inherited it from my parents. I still have mixed feelings about letting it go.
- Aloha 4y agoI bought a Zenith System III 21 inch table top set made in 1982 in 2000 or 2001 for 5 dollars at a yard sale. It lasted another 18 years. TV's were expected in that time period to last 20+ years, they were a major investment. The other interesting thing about Zenith is, its not uncommon to buy an older Zenith table top radio and have it work out of the box (and by older, I mean, tubes), they use mostly Mica Capacitors, and they seem to last forever.
