Wow Zenith is still around and kicking I see.

I remember back in the day when they made the BEST TV's lol.

Highly Ranked

I don't know if your "lol" was sarcasm or not, but back in the 80s the Zenith System 3 was an excellent TV. The control pad for the TV was a flip pad with membrane buttons, which at the time was a major "Cool!" factor, and the picture quality was superb. My mom's System 3 lasted more than 20 years before it was replaced, but even then the picture quality was still good. It was replaced because the membrane buttons on the flip pad wore out, and this was before remote controls were the norm. So changing the volume was impossible, and you had to press really hard for any of the other functions.

Now that we have "disposable electronics" (slight sarcasm there), I doubt that today's TVs would last 10 years, let alone 20.
