IIRC all Zenith rectangles with high focus used a stick rect. Later
roundies also I think but it has been a loooong time.
I like sticks myself. No more reliable but easier to fix. Always hated doing
filament winding & sockets on tube jobs.

The focus stick I guess wasn’t ready either - they went back to a tube…

Didn’t Zenith just use a rectifier with a conventional setup? RCA seemed to make things stupid at times…
