I got it! I got it!

[Sandy G]

Mine's sheet metal, but very heavy sheet metal, & covered w/a vinyl woodgrain covering that is good enuff to fool you to think it really IS wood... No cataract, & this TV was stored for awhile in a damp basement..On inspection, the 1VP2 (?) tube was broken, & its socket crumbled in my hand, so I know at least THAT much is wrong w/mine. Looked like it had been way too hot several times.. Anyhow, I WAS impressed w/the general level of construction on this TV-Zenith stuff NEVER was "Cheap 'n' shoddy"-not at least while they were in Chicago.
