It was worth it, though, as the TV worked absolutely wonderfully after I installed the last tube and turned it on. Even more amazing, the set still had its original 23ANP4 CRT, which was still going strong! The set must not have been used much.
I think Zenith built that same basic set for around 12 years. I also used to say that set was built to last forever.
